DEPARTMENT OF EAGLES - In Ear Park
While you wait for "While You Wait For The Others", the Dan Rossen-written song that Grizzly Bear have performed on TV and radio appearances throughout 2008 (and sure to be a highlight of their next disc), give a listen to this new record from Rossen's other project Department Of Eagles, a partnership with Fred Nicolaus predating his and Chrises Bear and Taylor's recruitment into the former (the latter two having now joined this band as well). Van Dyke Parks and Gene Clark have been mentioned as touchstones for In Ear Park, but this reviewer hears the pent-up elegance of Jeff Buckley's Grace over either elder, arrived at more in sentiment than intent.
