I've been really loving these two bands since I picked up on them a few months ago.If I were to sit down and iron out my thoughts on the subject, I know the Department Of Eagles "In Ear Park" would be my #1 choice for album of the year. The Acorns "Glory Hope Mountain" may have placed close to the top as well but alas, this album came out at the tail end of '07 and unfortunately had to be omitt...

Another day, another indie rock band with an animal reference in the name! This one gets instant credibility though, since one of its members - Daniel Rossen, is a mainstay in Grizzly Bear. Rossen teams up with ex college roomate Fred Nicolaus to conjure up Department Of Eagles unique sound.They have a new record, 'In Ear Park' due out in early October...here is a track off of it...enjoy.

Every once in a while you stumble on a real gem of a video by a really great band. Although, much of Daniel from Department of Eagles time has been spent with Grizzly Bear, they did release "No One Does It Like You" as a special showing at the MOMA a few months back. The video, directed by Patrick Daughters and Marcel Dzama, is equal parts Pink Floyd "The Wall", The Red Shoes dance/musical from...

I've been neglecting MOG for ages but when I saw this video I knew it belonged right here... even if only to keep my page from feeling forlorn and forgotten. The tune is rather catchy, no?

Last night at the deli magazine's music festival (in celebration of the release of our annual 'best of nyc' issue), we showed local music videos in between band performances--all produced by the same film company, from what I understand. Two of them stuck out to me. As I watched these videos on a giant stage screen standing behind a sea of scattered ipod owners, I had a "this...this is my gener...

I think we can all agree that Department of Eagles' "No One Does It Like You" is one of the best songs of '08, but we haven't yet heard it quite the way it was performed last night on Conan, with Dan Fred expanding the group to a 5-piece, with Dan's vocals complemented beautifully by female harmonizing from an unknown singer (EDIT: that's Angel Deradoorian from Dirty Projectors. Thanks Stereo...

Department of Eagles have been quiet lately due to the buzz that is currently surrounding Grizzly Bear's "Veckatimest". But they are trying to give their video some attention so that nobody forgets their brilliant second album, "In Ear Park". So they will be taking their single 'No One Does It Like You' and will be screening the new video at the Museum of Modern Art in New York before it undoub...

Department of Eagles, the side project of Grizzly Bear's Daniel Rossen and his college roommate, has a new music video out for "No One Does It Like You." The song, from last year's In Ear Park, is your standard indie rock fare, but The video has everything you would ever need: floating ghosts (who double as back-up singers), dancing soldiers (who can even pirouette), and fabulously executed de...

The video for In Ear Park stunner "Nobody does it like you" premiered last night at the MOMA and is now available for the rest of us plebeians. My brother was at the premiere so hopefully he will be able to contribute some photographic evidence of the "performance" and what is sure to be some overly academic commentary on the event (kkiddding). Update: no pictures and he said the director-led p...
