Danny Elfman has debuted a brand new Xiu Xiu remix of ‘Serious Ground,’ one of the songs initially featured on Elfman’s acclaimed new double album Big Mess [ANTI- / Epitaph Records].
The track serves as an experimental reinterpretation, pairing Xiu Xiu’s signature industrial noise sensibilities with chopped samples of Elfman’s original vocals and instrumentation.
Xiu Xiu’s remix of “Serious Ground” marks the fourth collaborative effort for Elfman from Big Mess, as he previously joined forces with Zach Hill of Death Grips for a remix of “Kick Me,” worked with Squarepusher for a glitchy remix of “We Belong,” and teamed up with Trent Reznor to unleash a new duet version of his song “True.”
Praise for Big Mess
“The best representation of himself he’s ever created in his half-century career.” – SPIN
“Expertly conceived, meshing sawing classical strings, gutsy rock, electronics and enough energy to power a small city.” – American Songwriter
“A sonic howl — part glam rock, part orchestral, part punk, with driving, industrial songs that are liable to disintegrate or tear off into a different direction.” – Associated Press
