Two posts in and I've fallen off of the blogging wagon already! It's been a busy week for sure; not just for me, but for Department of Eagles as well. Today marks the release of In Ear Park, the long awaited album from Daniel Rossen (Grizzly Bear) and Fred Nicolaus. This gruesome twosome began working together in 2000, but work was interrupted when Rossen joined Grizzly Bear in '03. FORTUNATELY for all of us, the NYU roomies are back with a sparkly new record. Feeling a little noisy? Check out No One Does It Like You. Feeling melancholy? Phantom Other is a nice listen, but most of the album has that far off feel, as it's dedicated to Rossen's deceased father.
