SEE: Departure Lounge – ‘Australia’: Peter Buck joins cult faves for a glorious, jangly nugget
CULT favourites from back when the Nineties became the Noughties, you can’t accuse Departure Lounge of not having ambition on their new single, “Australia” – if that wasn’t enough a span from poor old virus and Tory-spatchcocked Britain, craving some sun, they’ve also enlisted none other than R.E.M.’s king of the jangling guitar, Peter Buck, …
