The new album comes out this October 16th via Anti- Records.
As a solo artist Lytle has created a catalog of unique and emotionally evocative records. Dept. Of Disappearance is the anticipated follow up to his acclaimed 2009 album Yours Truly, the Commuter. The new album plays like an emotionally resonant soundtrack for a non-existent cinematic masterpiece. On it the sometimes reclusive, always intriguing musician has deftly infused the toil of ordinary existence with a sweeping sonic beauty.

“Antique synths in varying states of dilapidation spring into life… and rarely does the comfort of sadness feel so apt” - Mojo
“Inventively employing computer “tweakery”, Lytle concocts synthesized symphonies and celestial chorales, with emotionally charged results”. - Uncut
