Two of the touring artists attached to The Pains Of Being Pure Of Heart make it here to Berlin sporting their own project, The Depreciation Guild, giving a run to the material from their latest album, Spirit Youth, out June this year.
Contributing to their early 90′s indie electronica sound (thinking Single Gun Theory right now as I’m listening to TDG’s new stuff) is their using a modified nintendo console as instrumentation, bringing in an 8-bit sound that gives the tracks that vintage feel.
