Following his triumphant performances at the 2022 Coachella Music and Arts Festival, Danny�Elfman delivers Bigger.Messier., an ambitious double-album collection of remixed and reimagined tracks from his highly acclaimed Big Mess album. This sprawling, 23 track collection�(available on 2 LP or 2 CD) features tracks reworked by some of the most groundbreaking and�subversive artists around today. Bigger.Messier. views the Grammy and Emmy Award-winning�composers songs through the lens of luminaries from diverse sides of the music business,�including Trent Reznor, Iggy Pop, Squarepusher, and Ghostemane. Elfman once again has�achieved a kind of artistic liberation on the record that had been eluding him for decades, and�connecting him to brand new audience. Born and raised in southern California, Elfman began�his career as part of a surrealist, avant-garde musical theater troupe known as The Mystic�Knights of Oingo Boingo. The group would eventually morph into the critically acclaimed rock�band Oingo Boingo, whose high-energy performances and genre-bending sound garnered�them a fanatically devoted cult following in the 1980s and �90s. Among the group�s early fans�was fledgling director Tim Burton and Paul Reubens (aka Pee-wee Herman), who enlisted�Elfman to score their first feature film, Pee-wee�s Big Adventure. The collaboration would prove�to be the start of a long and fruitful partnership for Elfman and Burton, with Elfman going on to�score a string of iconic Burton features like Batman, Beetlejuice, Big Fish, Edward Scissorhands, and The Nightmare Before Christmas. To date, Elfman has scored more than 100 films.
