Mondo

Electric Guest, an LA-based duo are set to release their forthcoming album „Mondo? on April 27. Together with the help of Danger Mouse (Gnarls Barkley) they were able to whittle an eclectic mix of tracks down to a realistic number (10) to produce their debut album „Mondo?. Lead single „This Head I Hold? sets the tone of this eclectic album. The track?s rock meets RnB swagger beckons for the closest dance floor with effortless falsetto and funk beats leading the way. The groove of „Awake? also signals an all in party, replete with a chorus of cool female vocals and a religiously catchy refrain. But dance floor hits aren?t what Electric Guest is exclusively about; the soulful vocals also have an innate ability to guide the listener through dreamy sonic odysseys, like the near-9-minute "Troubleman?, the concerned plea of "Amber? and sobering tones of "American Daydream?. One journalist described their music as “a mutant-albeit somewhat cleaned up and electronic-60?s garage thing,” likening the sound to The Troggs, The Seeds, and The Zombies. Matthew admits that those bands were a great influence on him but their inspirations are impossible to nail down as they both appreciate every genre of music, both having worked for years on various projects. With such an eclectic mix of instruments and influences, it's hard to put the sound of Electric Guest in a box, 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.”
