For every group like Beach House that wants you to sit down and ponder on their record, there is another like Electric Guest that just want you to have fun with theirs. Recently making noise for hooking up with Danger Mouse on their recent album, Mondo, Electric Guest's summertime smooth sounds are like a mix of Broken Bells, Foster the People, and all those other style-mixing pop groups making sugary snacks right now. Is this a bad thing? How could it be? If you are interested in catching them live, they've got a show coming up on May 27th at Portland's Mississippi Studios. Might be working checking out if you like wearing your sunglasses at night.

Here's what they sound like if you are new to their game.
