Masterpiece. Deep in meaning and Profound in feeling
Favorite track: The Last Dive of David Shaw.

The album that began my post-rock addiction - I clicked because the art in the YouTube thumbnail was pretty. And here we are now, with Departure Songs still being the standard that others are judged against. Somber, crushing, soaring, ethereal, this album has all of the moods.
Favorite track: Challenger part 1 - Flight.

Very moving work. I love the earlier albums, but I must say the instrumental is WLTS's strong suite. This must have been a very difficult album for the band to make. The emotion is almost tangible as you listen. Creating such emotion without lyrics is a testament to the musical talent of the band. Good work gentlemen. Keep it up.
Thank You

about
Departure Songs is inspired by failed, yet epic and honourable journeys or events throughout history where people have done extraordinary things for the greater good of those around them, and the progress of the human race itself. This is a celebration and a tribute. Each song has it’s own story and is a soundtrack to that story.
This is our 3rd album and our first instrumental album. We’re exploring new ground and exploring ourselves in the past 2 and a bit years since Chris went on his own journey. It’s slightly bleak with shimmers of hope and layers of emotion. It’s a tribute and a catharsis of emotion and honesty.
Thank you for your support.

Oh! I have slipped the surly bonds of earth
And danced the skies on laughter-silvered wings; sunward I’ve climbed, and joined the tumbling mirth
Of sun-split clouds, — and done a hundred things
You have not dreamed of — wheeled and soared and swung
High in the sunlit silence. Hov’ring there,
I’ve chased the shouting wind along, and flung
My eager craft through footless halls of air...
Up, up the long, delirious, burning blue
I’ve topped the wind-swept heights with easy grace.
Where never lark, or even eagle flew —
And, while with silent, lifting mind I’ve trod
The high untrespassed sanctity of space,
- put out my hand, and touched the face of god.
High Flight
John Gillespie Magee, Jr.
