Otaku - Trust The Mask (Pop) Trust The Mask’s newest track, Otaku, is a smorgasbord of goodies. It’s a buzzy techno experience, with a crystal clear production that gives almost an ASMR experience. But it’s also 80s with respect to its percussion and yet 00s Robyn-esque with its driving synth bass. But it’s most interesting and distinctive element is the seemingly Indian inspired instrument—possibly a shehnai—that weaves into the track and certainly catches the ear. When it comes to the vocals, they have a modern sensibility—close and intimate, mysterious and haunting—with a Sia sensibility. Overall the track is an inventive blend of influences with an anthemic catchy chorus that, when working together, make it Otaku a standout record.
