Title: The Depreciation Guild: nugaze+chiptunes!
Post by: Samus Aran on April 20, 2011, 12:43:37 AM
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 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

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

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

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

Engineers is better for nugaze
