It slipped under my radar, but last month Danny Elfman put out an album, Big Mess. [Wikipedia] It’s industrial/grunge rock (includes 2/5 of NIN!) with an orchestral grounding. Hints of minimalism, triple dueling guitars, and a seething cauldron of hate and anger about Trump and 2020. Enjoy! Disk One: Sorry [video, behind the scenes], True [video], In Time, Everybody Loves You, Dance With The Lemurs, Serious Ground, Choose Your Side, We Belong
Disk Two: Happy* [video], Just A Human, Devil Take Away, Love In The Time Of COVID [video], Native Intelligence, Better Times, Cruel Compensation, Kick Me [video], Get Over It, Insects** [video]
Also available as a full album. [1h12m]
