Today, Electric Guest – the beloved indie pop band formed by songwriter/producer Asa Taccone and lauded film and TV composer Matthew Compton – releases their anticipated new album 10K via Independent Co.

Listen to album HERE

The new album returns the duo to their roots and serves as a reintroduction to their soulful genre-spanning sound. To craft the 12-song project, Taccone and Compton shut out industry input and instead called upon their web of creative friends, such as The Weeknd, Carly Rae Jepsen, and over 30 other artists and actors, to offer notes and weigh in on singles.

The album includes previously released singles including the “falsetto-strewn ballad” that “reverberates deeply” (Stereogum) “The Love On High,” the “fun and catchy” (mxdwn) “Play Your Guitar,” the bounding and anthemic “Stand Back For You,” and the tongue-in-cheek, hip-hop-infused “1 Player Game.”

During the writing and DIY-style recording of 10K, the duo only invited friends into the process, including lauded producer Cole MGN (Beck, Julia Holter, Christine and the Queens), Kacy Hill and Emmett Kai, to craft Electric Guest’s most personal and fully realized work to date. The title 10K references a $10K loan Taccone received when he first moved to LA from a mentor who wanted him to quit his day job and focus on music full time. For Taccone, making this album was a way to reconnect with the inspiration, creative freedom, and hunger that the band originated from.

Known for feel-good hits like “This Head I Hold,” “Dear To Me,” and “Oh Devil,” Electric Guest has built a loyal fanbase for incredibly catchy, genre-blending indie pop since the 2010s, and earned more than half-a-billion streams in the process. An incredibly dynamic live band, they have toured extensively across the United States, Europe, Australia, Mexico, and beyond.

Asa Taccone, Electric Guest’s vocalist and lead songwriter, is a GRAMMY-nominated pop hitmaker whose uncanny writing and production abilities extend into theater, film and television as well as recorded music. Aside from his work with Electric Guest, Taccone co-wrote and co-produced the Billboard No. 1 hit “Feel It Still,” which earned Portugal. The Man a 2018 Grammy Award for “Best Pop Duo / Group Performance.” He has also written and/or produced songs for Carly Rae Jepson, H.E.R., Charlotte Gainsbourg, Amine, Phantogram, Foster the People and Badshah among others. More recently, he collaborated with The Weeknd to co-write and produced Lily Rose Depp’s “World Class Sinner / I’m A Freak,” the cult hit single from HBO’s The Idol that GQ declared 2024’s Song Of The Summer, as well as Charli XCX’s viral “Here I Go” digital short for SNL.

Matthew Compton, Electric Guest’s drummer and co-producer, is an acclaimed film and TV composer whose credits include the Sundance Film Festival record-breaking Palm Springs, Popstar: Never Stop Never Stopping, MacGruber, Better Start Running, the animated movie Igor, along with a cover of The Association’s song “Never My Love” featuring Flea for Drew Barrymore’s Whip It. Compton has also composed music featured in campaigns for Apple, Lincoln, Nissan, Activision, KIA, Edible Schoolyard, Starburst, Bud Light, and more.
