"Under the Gun" is on Mondo, the debut album from the Los Angeles indie-pop outfit Electric Guest, which came out in April 2012 on Downtown and Across the Universe. Asa Taccone wrote it with Brian Burton, better known as Danger Mouse, and with Compton, the roommate who spent 2009 through 2011 with him whipping their songs into album shape at Burton's urging. Danger Mouse and Taccone produced it, Taccone and Kennie Takahashi recorded it, and Takahashi mixed.

The record around it is thickly produced and happily omnivorous, borrowing from bubblegum, psychedelia, Motown-style soul, R&B, synth-pop and slacker California rock all at once.
