Guards Announce new LP 'Modern Hymns', Stream "Last Stand"

New York-based fuzz-pop band Guards (the project of Richie Follin from Cults/Willowz) have announced the release of their new album 'Modern Hymns'.

The follow-up to 2013 LP In Guards We Trust, was produced by Follin himself and mixed at The Notch in Los Angeles by Sean O'Brien, and will be out on May 22 via Kobalt. The themes on the album are wide ranging because of the long gestation period, but Follin's welcoming his first child into the world during the recording heavily contributed to the new focus and lyrical concerns.

The record features notable contributions from Mike Shuman (Queens of the Stone Age), Money Mark (Beastie Boys), Patrick Keeler (Raconteurs, Greenhornes), Benji Lysaght (Father John Misty, Beck), James Richardson (MGMT), Matt Schaeffer (Kendrick Lamar), and Brian Oblivion (Cults).
