This is our debut album, written and recorded between 2018 and 2022. It's indie rock, with elements of post-punk and shoegaze sprinkled throughout. We hope you enjoy!

"Blond Guru provides a comfort blanket that soothes the inner teen who discovered indie rock music for the first time in the early 2010s. The St. Louis-based band’s debut album, “Your Friends,” has a web of nostalgia that connects its rhythms to bands such as the Vaccines, Arctic Monkeys, and even back to the 90s’ Britpop and lo-fi scenes. Lead singer Noah Gregory’s sprechgesang vocals, combined with the varying heights and rhythmic solos across the album’s tracks, brings similarities to songs such as “Beetlebum” by Blur and “Zürich is Stained” by Pavement. The lyrics throughout “Your Friends” are deeply personal—brief yet powerful, akin to former Black Country New Road lead singer Isaac Wood’s writing style. Standout songs from “Your Friends” include “Awkward/Detached,” “MR/TR,” and “Scripts.” This is a must-listen album that will force you to reckon with your foundations—where you started to become your true self."
