Danny Elfman has announced Bigger. Messier., a new remix album featuring reimagined versions of songs from last year's Big Mess that's arriving August 12 via ANTI- / Epitaph Records. The record boasts an impressive array of guests, including Iggy Pop, Trent Reznor, Xiu Xiu, Kaitlyn Aurelia Smith, HEALTH, Boris and more.
And today, Elfman has shared Iggy Pop's take on Big Mess track "Kick Me." Described as "a frenetic commentary on fame, fortune and celebrity," Iggy's rendition features instrumental contributions from his longtime collaborator Leron Thomas and comes attached to a video by Carrie Chen & Berit Gwendolyn Gilma.
In a statement about the album — which will feature two exclusive bonus tracks on the digital edition — Elfman said:
At the onset of the Bigger. Messier. I asked the same thing of every artist: "express me through your own eyes." Not only was I surprised at the artists that wanted to participate, but completely blown away by what everyone contributed. There's a tremendous amount of diversity represented throughout, and I couldn't be more excited to announce the record with Iggy's version of "Kick Me," which not only serves as a reinvention of the song vocally, but instrumentally as well. This record became such an enjoyment of experimentation and relinquishing control of my own work in a way that I've never done before.
