I first witnessed this band by them opening up for robynhitchcock one halloweennight. they were amazing live.i was lucky enough to see them again in chicago, so i know the first night was not a fluke. their cd does justice to them- it has great tunes to sing along with, or just to listen. it has been a long time since a band of their caliber has come along-everybody who does not purchase this is missing a wonderful experience.

I had heard Departure Lounge when they opened for the Go-Betweens and then for Robyn Hitchcock. They put on a very intimate show. Tim Keegan's voice and the music draws you in. Based on the live show, I bought their import cds. Some of the songs here are the same as on the imports and some are remixed and some are new. This cd is a fine introduction to this band. I look forward to seeing them again and hearing more great things from then.

On Departure Lounge's first US release, Tim Keegan and his incredible band take you to a faraway land where positive thinking and making your dreams come true is not only possible, it's MANDATORY! On the beautiful New You, DL conjure up a blueprint for living a life that only includes who you are, and not who you should be! Stay On the Line tugs at your heartstrings as if you're a person in love talking to your special someone and never wanting to hang up! They Don't Know is an inspiriration to anyone who has been at odds in a situation where everyone thinks you're doing the wrong thing, but you know you're right! All in all, Out of There is a masterpiece of positive uplifting music in the mellow psychedelic rock sense! Hurry up and get Out of There!

this is a lovely record. but under no circumstances is it a happy one. lovely...in every sense of the word.
