album alert: department of eagles: in ear park


so this one might be a little late, but i still think it deserves to be mentioned. about a month ago a friend sent me a copy of in ear park by department of eagles. i just barely got around to listening to this album and it is literally amazing. many of you might be familiar with grizzly bear. department of eagles is somewhat of a side project of daniel rossen from grizzly bear. the sound is similar to grizzly bear, but i personally feel this album is even better and more creative than grizzly bear's critically acclaimed yellow house. seriously this stuff is pretty interesting. i swear it should be illegal to listen to this on anything but vinyl. every listen seems like some kind of time warp. this is definitely one of those albums that takes time to grow. give it a couple listens and i guarantee you will see the genius that is department of eagles.

ps. if you've never heard grizzly bear, you should also check them out. my friend and i saw them live about two years ago and it was a very impressive show.
