Danny Elfman - Bullet Time (Original Soundtrack) [7-inch Fizzy Juice]

Danny Elfman returns to his darker, weirder playground with Bullet Time (Original Soundtrack), a compact but potent burst of animated menace pressed to 7-inch vinyl.
It is fast, stylized, and unapologetically bold, mirroring the kinetic chaos of the animated world it scores.

Released in 2023 and issued by Waxwork Records, Bullet Time captures Elfman in full experimental mode, channeling the same aggressive energy that fueled his recent solo work while sharpening it into a tightly wound soundtrack statement. Written for the animated short of the same name, the music leans heavily into rhythm, texture, and attitude, proving that Elfman’s instincts for character and motion remain razor sharp.

Across its brief runtime, the score crackles with distorted electronics, pounding percussion, and warped melodic fragments that feel equal parts industrial and cartoonish. Tracks like Bullet Time Main Title and Chase Sequence snap with adrenalized urgency, while slower cues hint at Elfman’s gift for tension and theatrical release. Every second feels intentional, with no wasted space and no polite background music in sight.

This 7-inch vinyl pressing transforms Bullet Time into a collectible artifact rather than a disposable soundtrack. Perfect for fans of Elfman’s boundary-pushing side, it sits comfortably alongside his film work while nodding to his punk-rooted instincts. Short, sharp, and visually striking on wax, Bullet Time is proof that even in miniature form, Elfman knows how to leave a mark.
