Spirit Youth
The Depreciation Guild has been extremely busy since they self-released In
Her Gentle Jaws in 2007. Feldman, now joined by the Hochheim twins, has
been pulling double duty touring the world (US, UK, Japan) as front man of
The Depreciation Guild and as drummer for indie darlings The Pains of Being
Pure At Heart. Last year, In Her Gentle Jaws was reissued on vinyl & CD,
Dream About Me was released as a single - all leading up to the release of
their sophomore full-length Spirit Youth - out on Kanine May 18th.
Spirit Youth sees the trio plus honorary 4th member - a vintage Famicom
system - taking a considerable leap forward. Though it blends 8 bit technology
and The Depreciation Guild have often been grouped into shoegaze, the
album, produced by Josh Eustis from Telefon Tel Aviv, should not be strictly
classified by either. Spirit Youth hopefully will rewrite just about every
assumption about Brooklyn s most promising dream-pop band.
