THE quintessential post-rock album. If you like prog and you like songs with a story to tell, you'll love Departure Songs. So much texture!
Favorite track: A Gallant Gentleman.

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.

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.

Guidance was the first album I ever heard from Russian Circles. I've never heard anything like it before. It's the kind of music you lay down on your couch or bed or whatever and close your eyes to and just let your mind wander off for a bit.
