Produced by Danger Mouse, the duo are also pleased to announce their first shows in the UK in March. With meditative lyrics, catchy choruses, and dance inspiring rhythms the band brings a feel-good experience direct to the eardrums. As to the name of the band, singer-songwriter Asa Taccone explains, “When I got kicked out of high school, I started hanging out at a Dunkin Donuts. An older woman who worked there was a weirdo like me, into a lot of new-agey, metaphysical shit and before I left she told me to always remember that I was an electric guest of the universe. For some reason it stuck with me”. Like the titular origin, the band and their music is a collection of people and memories Asa has picked up along the way of his long, circuitous journey towards completion of the band’s first album, ‘Mondo’. This nomadic quality is felt in their songs that take surprising, symphonic twists and turns that are never jarring as Asa’s rich, R&B-style vocals guide you smoothly, dreamily through their unique chord and movement changes While studying various arts at Cornish College, Asa’s focus was always on music. He maintained a strong relationship with his older brother and would play him songs over the phone. His brother then based in Los Angeles, was so impressed with Asa’s compositions, he wanted his friend who worked in music to hear and placed him on the phone one day. This was Asa’s first fortuitous encounter with Brian Burton (better known as Danger Mouse, famed music producer behind Gnarls Barkley, Gorrillaz, Broken Bells, among many others). Brian liked what he heard and asked Asa to keep sending him stuff, which he wisely did. Over several years, the two formed a strong working relationship, Asa contributing his music production skills to many of Danger Mouse’s projects. Then one day in June 2007, Danger Mouse asked him to do a record. Having moved by then to Los Angeles, Asa, as to be expected of an LA-based young artist, moved into a large house with several other musicians. The home provided him the mental and physical space to become extremely prolific, writing over a hundred songs in his three year stay. During his time there, he met his musical counterpart, Compton. The two instantly hit it off and musical collaboration came naturally. Together, with the help of Danger Mouse, they revisited and revised Asa’s many tracks, eventually whittling the number down to a realistic 10 songs that comprise their first album. With such an eclectic mix of instruments and influences, it’s hard to nail down the sound of Electric Guest but Asa insists that it’s ultimately pop music, disclosing, “I have a sweet tooth for terrible music so I won’t even say what I’m influenced by” Artist Electric Guest Genre Rock And Pop Label Because Music Buying Options 1LP Includes CD Format 1LP , Includes CD Condition New Country UK Track Listings 1 Awake 2 The Bait 3 Under The Gun 4 This Head I Hold 5 Holes, 6 Amber 7 Waves 8 Trouble Man 9 American Daydream 10 Control Share this On Facebook On Twitter Via Email More from Electric Guest and more from Rock And Pop View Product Quick View Electric Guest Plural Rock And Pop | Because Music | 1LP Released 3rd March 2017 £19.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Electric Guest Plural £19.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Because Music SKU: 5060421567723 Formats: 1LP Released Date: 3rd March 2017 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View John Bence Love Rock And Pop | Thrill Jockey | 1LP, Coloured Vinyl, Includes Download Code Released 13th November 2020 £24.00 - £26.00 Select options John Bence Love £24.00 - £26.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Thrill Jockey Formats: 1LP, Coloured Vinyl, Includes Download Code Released Date: 13th November 2020 Read More Select options View Product Quick View Staves, The Good Woman Rock And Pop | Atlantic | 1LP, Coloured Vinyl Released 5th February 2021 £18.00 - £25.00 Select options Staves, The Good Woman £18.00 - £25.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Atlantic Formats: 1LP, Coloured Vinyl Released Date: 5th February 2021 Read More Select options View Product Quick View Surprise Chef Friendship Rock And Pop | Big Crown | 1LP, Coloured Vinyl Released 2nd June 2023 £24.00 Select options Surprise Chef Friendship £24.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Big Crown Formats: 1LP, Coloured Vinyl Released Date: 2nd June 2023 Read More Select options View Product Quick View Steve Winwood Talking Back To The Night Rock And Pop | UMC | 180g, 1LP Released 13th February 2017 £18.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Steve Winwood Talking Back To The Night £18.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: UMC SKU: 5719709 Formats: 180g, 1LP Released Date: 13th February 2017 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Grateful Dead American Beauty Rock And Pop | Mobile Fidelity | 180g, 2LP, 45rpm, Gatefold Sleeve Released 18th November 2014 £81.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Grateful Dead American Beauty £81.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Mobile Fidelity SKU: MFSL245429 Formats: 180g, 2LP, 45rpm, Gatefold Sleeve Released Date: 18th November 2014 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Pulp We Love Life Rock And Pop | Island | 1LP Released 12th June 2018 £17.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Pulp We Love Life £17.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Island SKU: 4785290 Formats: 1LP Released Date: 12th June 2018 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Mac DeMarco Five Easy Hot Dogs Rock And Pop | Mac's Label | 1LP Released 16th June 2023 £24.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Mac DeMarco Five Easy Hot Dogs £24.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Mac's Label SKU: 1218167 Formats: 1LP Released Date: 16th June 2023 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Spoon A Series Of Sneaks Rock And Pop | Matador | 1LP Released 14th August 2020 £16.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Spoon A Series Of Sneaks £16.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Matador SKU: OLE1491LP Formats: 1LP Released Date: 14th August 2020 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Band of Horses Why Are You OK Rock And Pop | Virgin Records | 1LP, Includes Download Code Released 6th June 2016 £18.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Band of Horses Why Are You OK £18.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Virgin Records SKU: 5478515 Formats: 1LP, Includes Download Code Released Date: 6th June 2016 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Endless Boogie Admonitions Rock And Pop | No Quarter | 1LP, 2LP Released 12th November 2021 £26.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Endless Boogie Admonitions £26.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: No Quarter SKU: NOQ074LP Formats: 1LP, 2LP Released Date: 12th November 2021 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders See more in Rock And Pop Start again
