Brilliant. The Departure are back with 'Seven Years'. You'd think they'd be massive given the likes of Editors who are also brilliant. Quite simply the band Joy Division should have been. Alas they're song writing isn't quite up to scratch as this is just a tiny bit toilet. Seven years is a limited hand stamped thing before they come bounding back with a brilliant new record....‘7 Years’ is a thrilling taster of what to expect from The Departure’s new album, produced by Ed Buller (Suede, Pulp) and due to be released early next year. To listen to another brilliant new track, ‘Chemicals’, go to www.myspace.com/thedeparturemusic· The Departure formed in Northampton in 2004 and released their acclaimed debut album ‘Dirty Words’ the following year. With a new line-up featuring the return of original drummer Simon Alexander, The Departure are back brimming with fresh confidence, reflected in their more purposeful, muscular sound.
