8. The Depreciation GuildHere's something fresh, a post-rock/shoegaze/chiptune outfit. These guys write amazing songs, everything from rocking tunes to beautiful post-rock compositions. This is also the first band on this list so far to feature vocals, which they handle really well. Gorgeous.
Alright, I'm going to put two albums here, because one is free and the other, my actual favorite, costs actual people money.
The free one first.
Nautilus (EP)
This release is a very good initial display of their abilities and unique sound. Get it free
here.
The not free one, but my absolute favorite.
In Her Gentle JawsThis is one hell of a beautiful album, showcasing all of their strongest points. I would recommend checking out the song "Heavy Eyes" if you're interested.
