The indie duo known as Department of Eagles was first formed when two freshman were assigned the same dorm room at New York University. What started as a way to fill boring college nights turned into an epic musical collaboration. Daniel Rossen (also lead singer/songwriter for Grizzly Bear) and Fred Nicolaus have been a strong force in indie music since the 2003 release of their debut album, The Cold Nose. Their new album, In Ear Park, has managed to consistently blow my mind and evolve every time I listen to it. With haunting harmonies and swelling, dream-like instrumentation, Department of Eagles has fused experimental music with easy-listening pop. This is a contradiction, I know, but just listen to the title track, “In Ear Park,” and you’ll understand. The result of this unique combination is an ethereal listening experience that you won’t be able to get enough of.
