Electric Guest, the beloved indie pop band formed by songwriter/producer Asa Taccone and acclaimed film/TV composer Matthew Compton return with "Play Your Guitar", a breezy, instantly catchy contender for song of the summer. Released via Independent CO, the track builds from a driving four-on-the-floor drum machine and softly strummed acoustic riff before blossoming into a sweeping earworm. Lyrically, it wrestles with anxieties about uncertain futures, both personal and societal ("fortune teller, politician, operator on the phone," "synthesize it, multiply it, advertise it over")-before landing in a chorus that celebrates the timeless clarity of simply playing a guitar.
