The Independent, March 2002
Departure Lounge 'Too Late To Die Young' (Bella Union)

After hiding away in Nashville for a year, Tim Keegan and company return to these shores with a triumphant example of great songwriting, coupled with textured and well worked arrangement. Produced by Kid Loco, this veers close to Spiritualized and Wilco, while maintaining its own distinctly quirky identity throughout. (****)
