Wow, That's a Good Song: Mt. Desolation, "Departure"

I feel like I missed the boat on Mt. Desolation, whose first (self-titled) album came out last October. I got excited when I saw a Chicago date on their tour page, only to realize it was from 2010. The British alt-country duo's two primary members are Tim Rice-Oxley and Jesse Quin, both of Keane, but the album features other musicians from well-known bands, including Noah & The Whale, The Killers, and Mumford & Sons.The video for "Departure" is beautifully shot, and the Polaroid photo effect is very nicely done. The song is catchy and upbeat for being one about leaving.
