Electric Guest – ‘Awake’ (Because Music)

‘Awake’ was originally released back in 2011, the single being re-released on Because Music, earlier this year, July 16th to get all precise.

Already a live favourite, ‘Awake’ followed the release of their debut album ‘Mondo’ in April. The Los Angeles duo Asa Taccone and Matthew Compton – collectively known as Electric Guest, were ever-present on the WithGuitars office playlist, fair to say the ‘Awake’’s inclusion in the 50, is merely a system of over play, quite apart from being a well strutted, and realised pop meets rock indie,

Asa’s match-winning vocals, backed by production from Danger Mouse, all which is very amicable. 8/10
