/// PRAISE FOR IN HER GENTLE JAWS ///


"...they take those tones and textures that evoke memories of pixelated plumbers amongst those of a certain generation and build soaring, shoegazing soundscapes of pop wonder out of them."
-chromewaves.com

"Adding elements of all your gazy favorites to the 8-bit Famicom-programmed beats, “Sky Ghosts” is a perfect distillation of the unique and powerful sound of The Guild. Not to be missed!"
-insound.com

"The Depreciation Guild is two guys and a Famicom. That’s techno for a certain brand of gaming hardware — Nintendo. The result is an intoxicating swirl of shoegaze dreampop and electro artfulness that leaves you swooning. ...Taking your beloved old school Nintendo Entertainment System to unexpected concert-hall packing potential."
-lostateminor.com

"One of the best albums of [2007]"
-newmusic.cz

"Packs the midrange full with all sorts of shimmery textures-- the lo-res digital snares land with a static-laden splash, ringing guitars are haloed in harmonics, and stretched along the back is a fluttering curtain of white noise...Sky Ghosts is certainly a nice track to get lost in"
-pitchfork.com

"The unholy man/machine-alliance plays noisy shoegazer. Beautiful pop songs draped in a veil of guitar distortion, pulsating in 60 hertz, synced to the unsteady flicker of the television. Bloodveins and digital circuits tangle in a new body of sound. A body whose artificial limbs doesn't seem that alien at all. In the dreaming night sky of the band, the naïve, robotic and crystalline arpeggio-chords sparkle brighter than the stars in their innocence."
-soundvenue.com

"From a literal wall of color to a figurative wall of sound (and/or both)...Synesthesia surrounds their debut 8-bit/shoegaze album, In Her Gentle Jaws...aggressively crackling, pounding NES programming offset by that shimmer-wash of guitar and well structured pop vocals."
-talk was a dream (blog)

"These [three] gents' music is a wonderful collage of guitars, drums, fuzzy electronics, and heartfelt lyrics that, in this writer's opinion, places them a couple steps ahead of most post-rock acts. Makes me want to hop the L train and give these guys a hug."
-xlr8r.com

"quite wonderful, to be honest."
-the yellow stereo

/// PRAISE FOR NAUTILUS ///


"The Nautilus EP is a well-crafted work of complex arrangements...Between the catchy guitar hooks and Feldman’s crooning vocals, it’s not until a minute into the first track, “Stuck Pig”, that you even notice that the Famicom is responsible for a third of the sound. For such a small release, the band has an incredibly big sound."
-popmatters.com

"...An awesome sort of fuzzy shoegazer, computer game music combo that simply knocked me on my ass...listen to them loud as hell (preferrably in headphones) and say a small prayer someone will release their album really, really soon."
-monkey bastard (blog)

Hi,The Depreciation Guild.
Thank you for the add !

I listened to your tunes from HMV of Japan by chance in the store today.
I thought that your tunes were wonderful, and bought "In Her Gentle Jaws" at once.
And, I was surprised at "Kimi Ni Mune Kyun" of the cover tune.
I love ymo, too. I love your music too.

Love from TOKYO

hello. i was at your show in Minneapolis. i was the girl with the ridiculous smile plastered on my face the whole time. anyway, there was a song you played, i believe it was the fourth one, and i *think* it was called 'Blue Lily'?? (i caught a glimpse of the set list). i was just wondering if that song is available anywhere? if it's old or new? it was my favorite.
