DEPARTURE LOUNGE: TOO LATE TO DIE YOUNG
"Some of the most wonderful, eclectic, optimistic pop music being created at the moment" (Sunday Times)
"One of (the) candidates for record-of-the-year honors... A top-to-bottom masterwork... Among the best English pop created in a decade. (Magnet magazine)
"This is, literally, the record of the year" (Detroit Metro Times)
"****" (Q Magazine, The Independent)
TIM KEEGAN & DEPARTURE LOUNGE: OUT OF HERE
"Casebook studies in flawless songwriting. This is great pop music, unadorned by spin, resolutely free of pretence." (NME)
"Superb" (the Guardian)
"Be prepared to have to prise this one off your stereo" (music365)
"a rare treat." (Time Out)
"Departure Lounge have departed for a world of bravado-free brilliance. If there's even a droplet of romance in your soul, you'll do well to join them there." (Flipside)
"Perfect music for those summer days when you're really pissed of with everybody." (What's On)
