As a preview, the composer has shared Iggy Pop's take on Kick Me. Head below to check it out alongside the album's artwork and tracklist. 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.”
'Bigger. Messier' tracklist:
We Belong (Squarepusher Remix) - 7:13
Happy (LITTLE SNAKE DYING IN THE CLUB EDITION) - 2:47
Happy (A. Fruit Remix) (Digital Bonus Track) - 3:17
