It's been in the offing for a little while now, previously being due this summer, in which time Walling's had 'Bell Tower' used in Ridley Scott's Prometheus. A similar set of grandiloquent, doomridden electroscapes to last year's debut The Entire City 'Mammals' takes its lead from both Ennio Morricone's score to John Carpenter's 1982 horror classic The Thing and Death Grips' visceral hip hop, with its aesthetic being the "the alienation of human physical form".
Graced with an extraordinary set of remixes, the first comes from Clint Mansell known internationally as favourite soundtrack composer for Darren Aronofsky's films (Requiem For A Dream, Black Swan, Life of PI). He delivers a suitably 'Carpenterian' version of This Is My Hand, transforming Walling's vocal into a new melody, in a sort of synthetic clone of itself which when accompanied by the intensifying electronic drones, adds extra eeriness to the song's lyrics.
British dubstep artist, Kuedo (Planet Mu) aka Jamie Teasdale better known as one half of Vex'd explores striking new harmonies in I Turn My Arm, giving it a softer edge with his signature Oneohtrixstyle, dreamy synth textures.
Renaissance Man (Turbo, Modular) approach has an instantaneous effect. A blistering but sparse industrial trip. Its focus strips the vocal away from its harmonic bed and pushes the track into a darker, even more disturbing realm.
Alixander III (Azari & III) treats I Turn My Arm with an archetypal, dark, house influence. A faster tempo and isolating the breathy, androgynous vocals which whisper and gasp in the listener's ear.
