As another working week rolls round, we're up and running once again this Monday morning with the latest edition of Top Indie Songs, featuring Arcade Fire, CHROMATICS, Dirty Projectors, and more! |
BEST NEW MUSIC: INDIE, ALT POP, CHILL
Cigarettes After Sex explore pretty much every single feeling of infatuation on "Crush"! |
We’ve made it to what I’VE been personally looking forward to all YEAR — the FIFA World Cup, baby! So if you don’t mind me, I’ll be MIA for like, about a month. But don’t worry, I’m leaving you all with some fresh tunes from our weekly and constantly updating Spotify playlist. |
Here at We Are The Guard we are committed to delivering you only REAL NEWS. With that in mind, we’ve got a round-up of all the Insta stories you need to stay inform about the world at large. Let’s dive in. |
As another working week draws to a conclusion, why not join me in embarking on a lil' mental getaway this Friday? Just grab your headphones, and maybe a Bahama Mama too, and hit play on the following songs from Olafur Arnalds & SOHN, Cigarettes After Sex, Lykke Li, and more! |
We wanted to go beyond the known quantities of Lady Gaga, Sam Smith, and Perfume Genius, et al, and focus on some up and coming queer artists who are driving music into the future. |
Starling's Profiteroles sounds delicate and unguarded, personal and confessional, while simultaneously sounding tough, resilient, and, above all, catchy. It strikes the balance between stripped-back elegant minimalism and lavish, lush Top 40 Pop. |
You can’t just spend all day, every day, on the Instagram scroll trying to find out what your favorite musicians are up to, can you? NO! So we’ll do it for you! We Are: The Guard are proud to cull down this week’s internet events into the hottest and the weirdest and put it all together into a little think piece for you to enjoy as you sip your coffee. |
There are few things in life that last forever, i.e. styrofoam and the lasting impression of today’s curated indie pop songs from Party Pupils, Tove Lo, 88rising, and more. |
In the blink of an eye, it feels like I’ve gone from an uneventful 2018 music year to — whoa!! New Kanye releases?! KIDS SEE GHOSTS??? Jorja Smith’s debut album??? This year is FINALLY interesting!! |
I’m glad the music keeps on coming because there’s been all sort of sadness going on and frankly we could all use some cheering up because we’re all hurting in some way. So, let’s get press play and get these endorphins going. |
I knew that years of watching Mexican soap operas and listening in to the chismes (gossip) would one day pay off. Who can relate? Where’s our people at?! By people I mean you pretty mamacitas who know how to pull the juiciest content from Instagram. |
