Co-writing and co-producing a Grammy Award-winning international hit is usually enough to make an artist's ego visible from space. But for Asa Taccone of Electric Guest, working on Portugal. The Man's inescapable, Grammy-winning 2017 track "Feel It Still", as well as contributing a track to Carly Rae Jepsen's Dedicated, was more humbling than ego-boosting.
"When you work with other artists and performers, you get to see yourself," says the singer-songwriter, as his Electric Guest compadre and multi-instrumentalist Matthew Compton nods in agreement. "But you also get to have these intimate conversations with bands on their second or third albums, and you realize it's not fun anymore. It's hella stressful, and you find yourself over intellectualizing the process. I realized it was exactly the sort of thing I do."
