With their debut full-length through Atlantic out in October, Electric Guest—the duo comprised of Asa Taccone and Matthew Compton—have shared a new video for "Dollar."
The video, directed by Asa's brother (and The Lonely Island's own) Jorma Taccone, marked a "nostalgic reconnection" to the Bay Area.
"We wanted to just honor the feel of the song, which is like summertime fun, but also connected to our home," Jorma told Complex of the shoot, which notably features an appearance by an automobile that's practically bathing in nostalgic reconnections: the DeLorean.
"The Bay is like a DeLorean Hovercraft; bizarre and creative and never quite what you expect," Jorma added.
The track is representative of the duo's goal of entering this latest era with a desire to make "straight up, unapologetic pop." In a statement Monday, Asa said he and Compton were consciously avoiding making "a record that was angsty or artsy" while balancing their pop ambitions with a bit of sentiment.

The duo will celebrate its new Atlantic-backed album with a release show at Brooklyn's Rough Trade Oct. 15. A worldwide tour will follow, with dates and additional info set to be announced soon.
Asa, meanwhile, is fresh off bagging a Grammy for his work on Portugal. The Man's "Feel It Still. "
