/// PRAISE FOR SPIRIT YOUTH ///


"Spirit Youth seems to place its highest priority on the songs, putting them squarely at the center of all the shimmering tones...heavenly vibes pouring out of every minute of this lovely record."
-all music guide, 4/5 stars, amg album pick

"...Beautiful, authentic and visionary"
-soundvenue.com, 5/6 Stars

"The Guild deal in dreamy fuzz-scapes and swirling guitar washes, frequently striking that mystical and much-sought-after balance between delicate subtlety and crushing heaviness. Their latest is ten tracks worth of gorgeous, wispy melodies embedded in layers of distorted bliss; clearly, ample attention was given to both songwriting and aesthetic, as the group excels in both areas."
-other music

"Nintendo-synth hooks and John Hughes-soundtrack dynamism splash the songs with a kind of expertly crafted lushness"
-the onion / a.v. club

"Refreshingly sophisticated songcraft. The album as a whole is significantly more song-oriented than its predecessor...Of course, it’s that trademark ethereal sound that adds the special sauce to these tunes — who knows what they’d sound like in the hands of a different sort of band? All we really need to know is that in the hands of The Depreciation Guild, they sound like evolution."
-limewire

"It's in the songwriting department where the true growth in Spirit Youth is realized...they've made what turns out to be their best."
-pitchfork, 7.6 rating

"The Depreciation Guild pretty much pull all the punches here with track after track of upbeat sugary pop and it’s really really good."
-built on a weak spot (blog)

"The Depreciation Guild have brazenly crafted another incredible album."
-l.a. music (blog)


/// 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 soundscapes of pop wonder out of them."
-chromewaves.com

"An intoxicating swirl of 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

"The unholy man/machine-alliance. 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

"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
