Not many people seem to know that Nintendo rockers
The Depreciation Guild were a band on their own before their more well known gig playing in
Pains Of Being Pure At Heart. No matter, their second record
Spirit Youth finds them in good health, making the glorious video-game pop that originally sparked their blog fame. Check out their video for "My Chariot", from
Spirit Youth, after the jump.
The video was directed by Maura Milan, and shot on location in Tokyo. It premiered earlier today on
Stereogum.
"My Chariot":
Catch the guys on tour this fall, with another great band called Film School. -
