Do you like Fitz & The Tantrums? Are you into Broken Bells? How about Prince fans? Any of you out there? If you like where this is going so far… then you are bound to eat up the first three songs released by Los Angeles duo, Electric Guest. Given the diverstity of this early collection, it’s hard to tell just what these two (Asa Taccone & Matthew Compton) have in store for us when they release their debut album, Mondo on April 24th, but I think we can agree… it might be hard to stop listening to. Dig into the early release tracks below or launch them in your Spotify player if you so choose.
