Seoul-born, NY-based DJ/producer Yaeji’s coming from the bottom, but now she’s here with a sweet, melodic, hypnotic remix of Drake’s Passionfruit, from More Life. |
We Are The Guard is happy to turn the focus to some of our local artists here in sunny Los Angeles. Enemy is the newest release from LA local Oliver Tree and Windy City-native Whethan. |
Well look what we’ve got here! A daaaaaamnnnn fine funky electro bassline pops underneath this brand spanking new neo-electronic soul single from the hottest new duo this side of the Atlantic Ocean. |
Drop Down, one of the lead singles off of Lunice’s debut CCCLX, is the craziest concept opera you’re ever going to hear. |
Summer is almost over, but here at We Are: The Guard, the hot music keeps on coming. Galantis has finally released their follow-up album called The Aviary. Don't worry. All of the kitty goodness is baked right in. |
If you're a fan of Idle Hands and Shaun of the Dead then you'll want to press play on the music video for Ghosted's Get Some featuring Kamille. It starts out like an obvious teen story before quickly swiftly turning gory and supernatural. |
Pop just sounds good, no matter who you are or where you come from or what your mood. Pheobe Ryan's music exemplifies pop music in that no one can deny how catchy her music has been. Now, Ryan is back with a new single called Be Real and it's about as shimmery as a spinning disco ball. |
Summer romances aside, there is a bountiful amount of break-up tunes that have landed at my feet. If you are ready to patch up those wounds from failed love before the turn of the season, I present you a pop-friendly, easy-listening song by SIBA named Clean Break. |
Doja Cat's sultry soulful crooning and chance-esque flow are on high display with Up, Doja Cat’s newest mellow pop-trap lullaby. |
Tucked within the fine print of numerous music festival posters in the last couple months is the moniker of a particularly enchanting UK artist. SHELLS’ pop songs often sound quiet and contained at their start, but the sound blossoms on its own. Take Jailbird, for instance, an organic and intricate tune that sounds like a fitting end-of-summer anthem. |
Tokimonsta is years ahead of the beat scene, discovering new sounds and fresh ideas while her peers are still trapped two years ago. With We Love, she’s tapping into some chill tropical vibe sounds. |
Happy August from all of us here at We Are The Guard. Here's the newest one from Ramzoid called For You, featuring the vocals of Hail Luna. Enjoy! |
