Department of Eagles, one half Grizzly Bear, one half other.



For all you Bon Iver lovers out there... Department of Eagles is an indie folk/pop duo that met in an NYU dorm room in 2000. After the roommates Fred Nicolaus and Daniel Rossen began creating music using pirated software, a Californian label picked them up and most of this music ended up on their debut album in 2003. Dan joined the group Grizzly Bear in 2004, and as their singer, guitarist, and songwriter has been kept pretty busy (also touring with Radiohead!!!). Now after 5 years, the band has created their second album due to be released on October 7th. From the website, "many of Fred’s contributions relate to similar themes of nostalgia and mortality, giving the album at times an elegiac feel. In Ear Park is also full of joyful moments, lush production and concise songwriting."

Check out their single in ear park here.
