[video] The Depreciation Guild :: “Dream About Me”
Posted by PJ in New, The Yellow Stereo, Videos
I am really digging this new single from The Depreciation Guild, the video of which was recently premiered on Pitchfork. Check out this previous post for a more in-depth look at the band, but the gist of it is that Kurt Feldman, who also moonlights as the drummer for The Pains of Being Pure at Heart, also heads up The Depreciation Guild. But the two bands couldn’t be any more different if you ask me.
While I was watching this video, for a couple of minutes I almost thought the band ditched their usage of 8-bit bleeps and bloops, but those familiar sounds enter the equation as soon as that thought crossed my mind. Like I’ve said previously, they’re probably only one of a few bands that can make this sound work for them. In fact, I think I like this more than anything off of In Her Gentle Jaws (which is available for free download); it’s more dreamy and ethereal.
The single is set to be released on July 7th on 7″ (which you can order from Kanine Records) and digital formats as well. This should be more incentive to catch them when they support The Pains of Being Pure at Heart starting in September.

I’ve given this more than a few spins the past week, and I, probably like most, am impressed by how smoothly they meld the shoegaze/8bit sound.
