Film School was brought to my attention by Brad over at Bradley’s Alamanac a few years back when they released Hideout. While there are some indie shoegazer bands that I just can’t stand, these guys have a different sound. A sound that conjures up the right senses in my brain for wanting to bob and weave not just to stare down at my “shoes” and gaze in wonderment.

They’re latest album, Fission, is out now on August 31st on Hi-Speed Soul. It was intended to come out on July 20th on FFO Records but apparently something fell apart there. Don’t know the whole story but if you happen to know more about this, let us know in the comments. I’m listening right now to Heart Full of Pentagons from the new album and it’s even more rocking than any of the songs off of Hideout. A bit more straightforward sounding as well. Looking forward to hearing the rest.

The Depreciation Guild is playing with Film School on October 2nd here in Cambridge at TT the Bear’s Place and I must say, after watching the Tunnelvision video over at Pitchfork of their track About Me, I’m guessing this is going to be an event you won’t want to miss. To add fuel to the fire, they’re a The Pains of Being Pure At Heart spin-off, last years big indie breakouts.

Their new album, Spirit Youth, is out now on Kanine.
