Electric Guest have announced the release of their highly-anticipated new album, KIN, which is available now via Atlantic Records at all DSPs HERE.
“We called the album KIN because at a certain age you look around you and realize that everyone in your life is your chosen family,” says Asa Taccone. “All the random weirdos and stragglers have exited the building and you’re left with this wonderful group of humans that are your family. The making of the album was the same: only friends pretty much. From calling my father at 2am to ask him to help with me lyrics, to the artwork and videos, to the musicians that played on the record: everyone was kin.”
To tie into the release of KIN, Electric Guest have also unveiled a brand new music video for defining album single, ‘More’, which is available to watch HERE. It stars front man Asa Taccone giving his most charismatic performance yet. Filmed in a Los Angeles warehouse with their actual friends and family, Asa and Matthew embraced the one-take concept of director Joe Weil (Kendrick Lamar, YG, Khalid). They effortlessly dip in and out of reality, gliding between different music video sets as Taccone dances alluring choreography.
“My family flew down from the Bay Area and were on the sidelines for each take cheering me on,” says Taccone of the video. “My loud ass sister would be like, ‘you got this baby boy!’ hella loud during the dance takes. That’s why I’m grinning so much.”
Electric Guest celebrated their album release week in NYC with a jampacked show at Brooklyn’s Rough Trade and an intimate and exclusive Rose Bar session at the Gramercy Park Hotel. The duo will continue their KIN WORLD TOUR on October 28th, before descending on Europe and the UK in November and December, including a London show at Village Underground on December 2.

KIN marks Electric Guest’s first new LP in two years as well as the duo’s first new music since Taccone earned a 2019 GRAMMY® Award for co-writing and co-producing Portugal. The Man’s worldwide smash single, ‘Feel It Still’. Co-produced by Lars Stalfors (St. Vincent, HEALTH, Foster the People), the album sees Taccone and Compton pushing modern pop towards their own unique worldview, melding sunshine soul grooves and sugaryhooks with ambitious production and a subversive lyrical power.
Electric Guest’s contributions to the modern pop landscape don’t stop with “Feel It Still.” Taccone and Compton recently joined forces with Carly Rae Jepson to co-write and co-produce ‘Feels Right (Feat. Electric Guest)’, the only feature on the pop star’s critically acclaimed new album DEDICATED. Both extremely collaborative creators, Taccone and Compton also have recent credits on tracks for artists including Cold War Kids, Amine, and Melvv.
