American Daydream is a variety of song that fits its excellently produced video clip (directed by Jorma Taccone—frontman Asa’s brother—of The Lonely Island) so well—somehow it arrives as this pre-packaged, ready to go soundtrack to remembering last Saturday evening: it is nostalgic and stimulating and anticipatory all at once—Taccone has cleverly weaved in a narrative of jealousy and lust from a crazed celebration vagrant: bathing in a delicately red light (and eventually his personal blood), tipping tables and flinging drinks by means of the air. Just your common, destructive and hazardous evening out, truly.
Take heed from MTV and maintain an eye on Electric guest in the subsequent couple of months, there’s some thing large brewing.
