Electric Guest + The Vaccines + Poliça + Phantogram

A joyful mix of funk, electro and psych-pop, Electric Guest’s genrehopping debut album, Mondo, is anchored by the deft studio touch of pal Danger Mouse (maker of magic with Gorillaz, Gnarls Barkley and Broken Bells). Combining Motown harmonies with taut, hook-laden production, the L.A. duo finds that sweet spot between affecting sentiment and glossy precision.
