Background and composition

The name "Scary Monsters and Nice Sprites" was inspired by the David Bowie album Scary Monsters (and Super Creeps) (1980). [1] According to Noisia, "Scary Monsters and Nice Sprites" started being worked on in their vocal booth when Skrillex was staying with them, writing songs together, [2] in May 2010. [3] Noisia said that, after member Nik showed Skrillex the Native Instruments synthesizer FM8, Skrillex created "FM8 Test". This test song would later become "Scary Monsters and Nice Sprites". Skrillex finished its first draft after he went back home. [2] It was the first track written for Skrillex's second extended play (EP) Scary Monsters and Nice Sprites . [4]

"Scary Monsters and Nice Sprites" has been described as a dubstep and brostep song. [5] [6] It is in the key of B♭ Major and has a speed of 140 beats per minute. [5] Kat Bein of Billboard said that the track is "an aural sleight of hand"; though it begins with a high-pitched, "serpentine melody" and "pleasantly fragmented vocal samples", it takes a sharp and surprising turn when the drop occurs at about forty seconds into the track, with "a load of bass bombs sounding like [an] alien invasion". [1] Similarly, Spin described the song as "a slow, disquietingly serene journey up to the top, then the most precipitous of falls, directly down". [7] Jason Schreurs of Alternative Press described the drop as containing "massive breakbeat-breakdowns", [8] while Vice described it as concurrently aggressive and melodic. [9]

Right before the drop, a vocal sample of Rachael Nedrow, also known as "speedstackinggirl", shouting "Yes, oh my gosh!", is used. [10] The sample comes from a video where she speed stacks a set of cups in one of her YouTube videos. Although Nedrow was unaware of its use, she later received royalties. [11] Jon O'Brien of AllMusic said that the sample added a lighter touch to the track amidst its "towering beats and distorted bass". [10]

Release and reception

"Scary Monsters and Nice Sprites" was officially released as the second track from the eponymous EP on October 22, 2010, through Mau5trap and Big Beat.

[13] On February 12, 2012, the song won Best Dance Recording at the 54th Grammy Awards. [14] That year, the song was used in multiple media, including in the film Spring Breakers , [1] in an ad for GoPro featuring kayaker Ben Brown, [15] and in the video games Major League Baseball 2K12 [16] and Ridge Racer Unbounded . [17]

[35] Vice said that "it practically made 'the drop' a mainstream term". [9] Billboard 's Kat Bein described it as "a generational classic" [12] and one of the most important Skrillex recordings. [33] The song also helped popularize Rachael Nedrow, which is sampled in the track. [36]

"Scary Monsters and Nice Sprites" has been ranked in multiple lists. In 2012, Spin ranked it as the fifth greatest dubstep song of all time. [32] In 2014, Pitchfork named it the 186th best song of the decade until then. [37] In 2015, Spin named it the second greatest electronic dance music (EDM) anthem of the first half of the 2010s.
