Mondo by Electric Guest
Mondo is an album by Electric Guest, released in 2012. 2 songs from it have charted on rock radio countdowns, with 15 countdown appearances in total. The biggest is “This Head I Hold”, on 14 lists and voted number one once.
Mondo, the debut album from Los Angeles duo Electric Guest, came out on April 24, 2012, through Downtown Records and Across The Universe, with Danger Mouse producing. Asa Taccone and Matthew "Cornbread" Compton had only been a band since 2011, and the record has the giddy, slightly cracked charm of two guys let loose in a well-stocked studio: indie pop that slinks and shimmies, all sticky hooks and warm, woozy grooves.
"This Head I Hold" was the single, and it traveled well beyond the radio, turning up on an episode of Dancing with the Stars and in a Crate & Barrel ad, while "Awake" landed on the soundtrack of the video game Forza Horizon. The follow-up, Plural, wouldn't arrive until 2017.
