"...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."

"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!"

"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."

"One of the best albums of [2007]"

"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"

"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."

"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."

"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."

"quite wonderful, to be honest."

"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."

"...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."
