Departure Lounge is an English band based between Brighton, England and Nashville, USA comprising Tim Keegan (lead vocals, guitar), Chris Anderson (keyboards, guitar, saxophone, vocals), Lindsay Jamieson (drums, keyboards, flute, vocals) and Jake Kyle (bass guitar, double bass, guitar, trumpet, vocals) whose first active period lasted from 1998 to 2002. They reunited in 2019 and released their fourth album, Transmeridian, in spring 2021 on Violette Records.
Their self-released debut, Out Of Here (Meek Giant, 1999) was made album of the week in the Sunday Times, who called it "some of the most wonderful, eclectic, optimistic pop music being created at the moment". A slightly different version of the album, entitled Out Of There (Flydaddy, 2000) was released in the US to similarly rave reviews.
Departure Lounge released two further albums: the piano-led instrumental concept album, ‘Jetlag Dreams’ (Bella Union/Naïve/Instinct 2001) and ‘Too Late To Die Young’ (Bella Union/Naïve/Nettwerk 2002), featuring "mercurial" (Uncut) production by Kid Loco, which earned 4-star reviews from Q magazine and The Independent and was heralded by Magnet magazine in the US as "A top to bottom masterwork… Among the best English pop created in a decade »
