One of my grand theories…the sort you start scribbling notes on in Tumblr before being like “nah, gotta develop this a bit more” before hitting the big ol’ “X” in the corner…is that Yasutaka Nakata is secretly one of the major influences of contemporary EDM. One day, I’ll actually write that, but for now we have “Invader Invader,” the latest single from Kyary Pamyu Pamyu, produced by Nakata, and his most overtly brostep song to date. He’s flirted with the wub before, but here he’s dropped (heh) an honest-to-God Skrillex-aping section into one of his tracks, one designed for maximum flipping out to. Yet this is Nakata were talking about, and he isn’t one to simply subscribe to tends (give or take a song here or there). The brostep part of “Invader Invader” is only a small portion of one of Kyary’s most ambitious singles to date yet, one featuring robo-backed singing and an energetic chorus that stands out thanks to the drama (and wildness) around it. Listen below.
UPDATE: The video also just came out (maybe that’s where the audio above comes from) watch below
