Departing is the second full-length album by Canadian indie rock band The Rural Alberta Advantage, released 1 March 2011 on Paper Bag Records in Canada and Saddle Creek Records in the United States.[1]

In a review of their December 2010 concert performance at Lee's Palace, The Globe and Mail recommended the album as a must-hear for 2011.[2]

The album was named as a longlisted nominee for the 2011 Polaris Music Prize.[3]

The song "Tornado '87" is about the Edmonton tornado of July 31, 1987, which occurred when band leader Nils Edenloff was living in that city.[4]
