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 Daughtry Cage To Rattle Rock And Pop | Sony Music | 1LP Released 27th July 2018 £19.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Daughtry Cage To Rattle £19.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Sony Music SKU: 19075849281 Formats: 1LP Released Date: 27th July 2018 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View David Sylvian Manafon Rock And Pop | UMC | 180g, 2LP Released 2nd September 2022 £30.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders David Sylvian Manafon £30.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: UMC SKU: 3876876 Formats: 180g, 2LP Released Date: 2nd September 2022 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View P.O.D The Awakening Rock And Pop | UMC | 1LP Released 18th September 2015 £18.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders P.O.D The Awakening £18.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: UMC SKU: 4741356 Formats: 1LP Released Date: 18th September 2015 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Mary Lattimore Collected Pieces: 2015-2020 Rock And Pop | Ghostly International | 1LP, Coloured Vinyl Released 14th January 2022 £25.00 Select options Mary Lattimore Collected Pieces: 2015-2020 £25.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Ghostly International Formats: 1LP, Coloured Vinyl Released Date: 14th January 2022 Read More Select options View Product Quick View Amy Winehouse At The BBC (Repress) Rock And Pop | Island | 180g, 3LP, Includes Download Code Released 30th September 2021 £30.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Amy Winehouse At The BBC (Repress) £30.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Island SKU: 3541560 Formats: 180g, 3LP, Includes Download Code Released Date: 30th September 2021 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Hefner We Love The City Rock And Pop | Where It's At Is Where You Are | 1LP, Coloured Vinyl Released 18th February 2022 £20.00 - £21.00 Select options Hefner We Love The City £20.00 - £21.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Where It's At Is Where You Are Formats: 1LP, Coloured Vinyl Released Date: 18th February 2022 Read More Select options View Product Quick View Newton Faulkner The Very Best Of Newton Faulkner … So Far Rock And Pop | Battenberg Records | 2LP Released 26th April 2019 £28.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Newton Faulkner The Very Best Of Newton Faulkner … So Far £28.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Battenberg Records SKU: BRLP002 Formats: 2LP Released Date: 26th April 2019 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Matt's picks View Product Quick View Charlatans, The The Charlatans Rock And Pop | Beggars Banquet | 2LP, Coloured Vinyl Released 8th October 2021 £26.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Charlatans, The The Charlatans £26.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Beggars Banquet SKU: BBL174LP2 Formats: 2LP, Coloured Vinyl Released Date: 8th October 2021 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Muse Absolution (XX Anniversary) Rock And Pop | Warner Music | 2CD, 3LP, Coloured Vinyl Released 17th November 2023 £126.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Muse Absolution (XX Anniversary) £126.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Warner Music SKU: 5054197674396 Formats: 2CD, 3LP, Coloured Vinyl Released Date: 17th November 2023 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Mark Peters Innerland Rock And Pop | Sonic Cathedral | 1LP, Coloured Vinyl Released 20th April 2018 £20.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Mark Peters Innerland £20.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Sonic Cathedral SKU: SCR094LP Formats: 1LP, Coloured Vinyl Released Date: 20th April 2018 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders See more in Rock And Pop Start again
