Danny Elfman – Happy 
Release Date: Out Now
This feels a little bit like
reviewing royalty if I’m honest. I mean, Danny Elfman is the genius who scored
the music for some of the best films of all time, including (but in no way
restricted to) Batman, the Nightmare Before Christmas, some of the Avengers
films and the Simpsons. Nevertheless, Elfman grew up with Kim Gordon and was in
a band called the Mystic Knights and Oingo Boingo so there is a back story here
that goes way, way back. Elfman’s latest release is ‘Happy’ and I should warn
you that it’s nothing to do with and nothing like the Pharrell Williams joint
of the same name. No, this is like an outtake from soundtrack that Tim Burton
decided was too freaky for his version of the Care Bears story. Sinister,
bouncing melodies and Elfman’s dark impish voice make this a nightmarish
experience until you see the accompanying video and then, quite frankly, you
will want to lock whatever device you are watching it on in the freezer before
setting fire to your house. Dark, menacing genius.
