The show was also planned to feature a number of reworked versions of Elfman's film score compositions and Oingo Boingo songs, but was cancelled due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
A complete album was then written, unplanned, with Elfman stating that once he started, he "couldn't stop", ultimately recording a total of 18 songs.
[4] The album was teased with a series of singles, beginning with "Happy" in October 2020,[7][8] and continuing on from January 2021, with releases on the 11th date of each month.
[4] In December 2021, Anti- and Epitaph Records announced an upcoming deluxe box set which includes four colored vinyl LPs, a 60-page artbook, a life-sized hand of Elfman's as a lamp and a signed poster.
Two of the records contain remixes and vocals from musicians such as Trent Reznor, Blixa Bargeld, Rebekah del Rio, Fever333, HEALTH, Squarepusher and Machine Girl.
In promotion of the announcement, a new remix of "Kick Me" featuring a spoken-word performance by Iggy Pop was released, with an official video created by Carrie Chen and Berit Gwendolyn Gilma.
