Oscar-nominated musician/composer Danny Elfman is back this Halloween with a new music video, putting a retro 1980s style twist on the Boy Harsher remix of his song “Happy.”
The new video is the latest visual to accompany Elfman’s recent remix album, Bigger. Messier [Anti- / Epitaph]. “Complete with unsettlingly saccharine smiles, laughter and cheerleading choreography that feel like a warped VHS tape unearthed from the deepest depths of the 1980s, the music video brings to life the duo’s darkwave pop rendition of the song with the help of directors Muted Widows and Elfman’s creative director Berit Gwendolyn Gilma.”
“The release comes just in time for Elfman’s highly anticipated back-to-back concerts tonight (October 28th) and tomorrow (October 29th) at The Hollywood Bowl in Los Angeles, CA, both of which will feature Boy Harsher as a special guest. Entitled Danny Elfman: From Boingo to Batman to Big Mess and Beyond!

A year after the release of his first solo album in decades, Big Mess, and a few months after his mind-bending appearances at Coachella, Danny Elfman will return with a star-studded remix album, Bigger. Messier. The record, due out Aug. 29, features rejiggered versions of Big Mess songs with guest shots by Trent Reznor, Xiu Xiu, Health and many others. Elfman is introducing it with a new version of “Kick Me,” which now features Iggy Pop.
The original song was a spasmodic, almost stream-of-consciousness aural seizure on which Elfman sings, “Kick me I’m a celebrity,...

As a young producer for Three 6 Mafia, the long-running Memphis rap group with a gift for grimy, bulldozing beats and brawling hooks, DJ Paul was offered the chance to perform in Russia. He declined.
“I was young at the time, and I turned down the show because I heard the weather was bad, it was cold all the time,” the producer explains. “I always had a thing about Russia because of Ivan Drago in Rocky IV — ‘the Russians don’t like us, man,’ that’s what I used to think.

The songs that Eric Whitney makes under the name Ghostemane are lacerating and distorted, drawing from the pummeling energy of hardcore, the murky atmosphere and triplet flows of Memphis hip-hop, and the scabrous, anxiety-inducing wing of electronic music.

But the singer-songwriter-rapper-producer and multi-instrumentalist, who built his career independently, now amasses more than 40 million streams a month across his catalog, so his managers...

Last month, the spread of Covid-19 started to shut down daily activities — everything ranging from mundane commutes to glossy film shoots. “The music industry seemed like the first to respond to that — ‘Oh shit, where are we gonna get content from?'” says Nick Cinelli, a director and animator who works on music videos like Ghostemane’s “Bonesaw” in Los Angeles. “Within three days, I’d gotten calls from six different outlets of music-oriented people: ‘Are you free?’ It was a quick, zeitgeist-y thing. ‘Ok, we need animation now.'...
