PAS EN TURE

WE ARE VANGUARD PARTY

 

Vanguard Party is a band from Durham, NC comprised of four nerds. Frequently holed up in their home studio to decompress and democratically create something unique as a group. 

Vanguard Party writes songs about resilience and revolution, despite sounding heavy at times, their message is one of determination and hope.

Always refining their approach and pursuing the best way to create a spectacle that truly engages the audience, performing live they’ve been described as “intense”, “emotive”, and “a bit loud”. One show is not like the other.

PAS EN TURE

by Vanguard Party

Written and recorded over the span of a year, pas en ture is a work of evolution. From a new band member to the birth of three children, these songs are an account of changing identity, revolt, and looking to the future under a different light. “Savage as Wolf” takes inspiration from a little-known letter written by George Washington about the expanding American frontier. “With or Without Weapons” questions the role of individuals in a complex and ever-changing society. “We are not Machines” considers the future of humanity and earth at-large in the face of deteriorating independence. Each song comes to life by way of shifting segues that provide room for reflection before launching into the next chapter.

Ritual Lament

This story starts at the end...

Each song represents a different part of our lives: from questioning the status quo, to celebrating the possibilities of life, to mourning the ineviability of death.

It's pretty incredible to track a song back to it's start. By the time a song gets recorded it has taken so many forms it's hard to remember where it came from. This is the first EP we've ever released that has strictly instrumental pieces on it. It was a lot of fun to make and add a surprisingly emotional journey when you listen to the entire album together. Only one more day until we release PASENTURE to the world.
Our third studio album "PASENTURE" will be available next Friday. 🤯 And starting tomorrow we will be sharing bits and pieces of the journey...counting down to the release. (6 days~) In a time when albums, EPs, records and CDs have all lost their application, this (what we will call a) music collection is very special to us. Each song represents a new movement for the band; From our time recording at @soundpurestudios, to the time we worked with a filmmaker to create new material for the film Auto Repair...to the time two of the band members had children - all the while making time for the band and the music we know we can make together. This collection is an almost perfect depiction of the band, what we've gone through and how we've grown over the last year. We look forward to sharing it with you. ---------------- 📸 @stephanieleathersphotography
