Dan Rossen Month continues with another cut from the Department Of Eagles DUMBO session that brought us the unreleased "1997," featuring Dan and Fred alone in a Brooklyn room with a view. This live "Herring Bone" is stripped of In Ear Park's arrangements and accouterments, presented here in its piano-man core, unadorned but for a few touches of Fred's rhythmic support. Rossen tends to dig up a...

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 think that, gun-pointed-to-my-head, I was only allowed to pick one guy to soundtrack my life, I’d go with Daniel Rossen of Grizzly Bear/Department of Eagles. The guy’s just packed to the brim with crazy guitar chords and head-rattling riffs. It’s all things that should, by all rights, be too confusing to enjoy without serious [...]
Like A.C. Newman's take on "Take On Me ," Department Of Eagles' Elvis cover is part of Starbucks' Valentines Day-approved Sweetheart compilation. Sip your morning Frappuccino while you listen at Hype Machine .
