The Depreciation Guild: nugaze+chiptunes!

[Samus Aran]

I just discovered this band tonight. They're really great. If you already like shoe/nugaze, you should have no problem enjoying them quickly. They remind me of Lush's style of shoegaze, mixed with a little Mew, and with cool chiptunes thrown in for good measure.

Anyway, just listen.

Unfortunately, they apparently broke up recently.

I just realized I have one of their albums in my iTunes that I haven't bothered to listen to for awhile now.

It sounds like the Scott Pilgrim game  
I like this, thanks Kaz.

I really liked In Her Gentle Jaws. It's one of the three-or-so shoegaze albums I have.

well the music in that game is by Anamanaguchi, which is more just instrumental rock with way heavier use of chiptunes

but you should check that band out too

You Need More Shoegaze.

You Need More Shoegaze.

The other two are Loveless and "Exploding Head" by A Place to Bury Strangers

and that les discrets album, if they count

[burzumfan420]

les discrets is good. but u Should Listen to Slowdive. They are Supreme

[Samus Aran]

and the jesus and mary chain and lush

also some similar bands that are more dreampop-ish like cocteau twins and school of seven bells

can't go wrong with nugaze like mew and radio dept. either

[burzumfan420]

flying saucer attack owns too a lot. and chapterhouse and ride. shoegaze owns in general

[Boogus Epirus Aurelius]

I've had Gentle Jaws for ages now.
It's a nice album, especially heavy eyes.



This guy uses a gameboy.

I think they're ok, I liked 'November'

Engineers is better for nugaze
