This re-release offering from forthcoming debut album ‘Dirty Words’ by this Northampton electro indie fledgling band is undoubtedly a “Hi, I’m Benny Bronco from the Bronx, remember me?” musical moment. Those who passed it over last time are given a shrift blast of funky The Killers toeing Duran Duran and Human League sound, in a provocative and defiant foray about frustration, denial, desire and one night stands. The Departure are about to take off, does anyone want a lift?
