A Brazilian band blending indie rock with folk and orchestral touches since 2008.
For a good sense of their range, try 'Vento do Metrô' and 'Such a Couple', one has that atmospheric quality, the other feels more direct and melodic.
Vanguart's sound has a specific texture, Helio Flanders' voice and writing, Reginaldo Lincoln's bass lines, Luciano Nunes' keyboards, and Paulinho Maskera's drums create something that feels both grounded and expansive. Songs like 'Vento do Metrô' and 'O Que Seria de Nós' show how they weave folk and orchestral elements into indie rock without losing the song's center. They've found listeners in Brazil and beyond, and their recordings with artists like Marisa Monte and Tulipa Ruiz point to a sound that other musicians respect.
They formed in Curitiba in 2008 and put out their self-titled debut in 2011. Albums like 'No Fim do Dia' in 2013, 'Praia' in 2015, and 'Passeio' in 2018 followed, each building on that blend of indie rock with folk and orchestral touches. The lineup has stayed consistent, with Flanders, Lincoln, Nunes, and Maskera shaping the sound across those records.
