Video: The Depreciation Guild - Nautilus

I was really excited to see 8 bit shoegazers The Depreciation Guild tonight when they play with super-hyped, big-thing-for-next-2-months The Pains Of Being Pure At Heart at The Middle East tonight. But you know what? I am too goddamn tired to go to that show. 2 shitty nights sleep, waking up early, and two long days of work make me have almost zero desire to go out tonight. So instead, I present to you the at least year old creepy ass video for The Depreciation Guild's "Nautilus" which can be found on both their free Nautilus EP (download here) and their free full length, In Her Gentle Jaws (download on their website).

The Depreciation Guild

Thanks to Pitchfork's recent review, I discovered a new band and a new genre. 8 bit shoegaze. Awesome. The Depreciation Guild combine two of my favorite types of music and really pull it off. One of the best parts? Their albums are totally free. Their new one, In Her Gentle Jaws, is available to download on their website. And their previous EP, Nautilus, is available for free as well.

This lead me to a discovery of epic proportions. There's a website called 8bitPeoples that distributes free 8 bit electronic music. This is a quote from the "Mission" section of their website.

"The 8bitpeoples first came together in 1999 as a collective of artists sharing a common love for classic videogames and an approach to music which reflected this obsession. Our primary interests were to provide quality music for free and most importantly to have fun."

Definitely check out The Depreciation Guild. They sound similar to M83 and I fuckin love M83. And they (M83) just happen to be coming to the Middle East in June. Hooray! And if you like 8 bit stuff, I'm sure you now have a new way to occupy your time.
