Part 2 of a series interrogating the track titles for Kaijupop, the debut album of my Soft-Bodied Humans project.
The album is available on LP and digital from @gangofducks at https://gangofducks.bandcamp.com/album/kaijupop
Track 2: Core-Braver
--
Core-Braver (コアブレイバー Koa Bureibā) is a heroic mecha created by Toho that first appeared in episode 2 of Super Fleet Sazer-X, titled "Burn Up! Great-Lio."
Core-Braver is a sleek white and silver humanoid machine with bright yellow eyes and a powerful red laser in his chest.

On Kaijupop, Core-Braver features a stand-out performance from the great Swordman Kitala, who rides an off-kilter beat made out repurposed kaiju roars with supreme confidence and skill.
Musically it's difficult to describe - the beat belonged to a subset of tracks I was working on that I dubbed 'wonky pop', which also includes Foksaurus feat. MCpero from the Kaijugrime EP.
These tracks often had chirpy, major-key melodies that bounced playfully on top of abrasive roars, screeches and ear-shattering industrial beats.
I think it just sounds and feels good.
