With a feel that sits between Kosmische Music dabbed with touches of psychedelic and apocalyptic folk, Departure Street has a new album that has me captivated at the moment. Pure guitar bliss. From the band’s Bandcamp site:
“This Broken World is the 22nd full-length solo album by A J Kimmel (aka Departure Street), and the fifth on the Shady Ridge Records label. The album is a continuation of the musical journey that is implicit in the pseudonym, Departure Street. Departure is a word with mixed meanings – it may refer to leaving, as is the case for the growing number of people I have crossed in my life or have inspired me in some way and who have now passed on. Departure also refers to a starting point from which one embarks on a new journey of hope, discovery, and growth.”
