Those Bastard Souls' first release was essentially a solo project for David Shouse. For their second offering, Shouse has assembled a crack band including members of several well-known alternative acts including Michael Tighe (Jeff Buckley) on guitar, Matt Fields (Red Red Meat) on bass, and a pair of ex-Dambuilders, Kevin March and Joan Wasser, on drums and violin, respectively. Most of the songs detail crumbling relationships, like the simmering, slow-burn of "The Last Thing That I Ever Wanted Was to Show Up and Blow Your Mind" and the pretty, wistful "The Wake of Your Flood." There's also some fantastic straight-ahead rock like the buoyant garage-pop of "Train from Terminal Boredom" and the chugging, uptempo "Has Anybody Seen Her," complete with handclaps. Debt & Departure is an album whose whole is definitely equal to the sum of its impressive parts.
