No One Does It Like You, NYC

Buy, borrow, or steal In Ear Park by Department of Eagles. Now. It’s the sexier, more romantic side to Grizzly Bear. If Grizzly is Prospect Park, then Eagles is a little more Union Square. Eagles are blessed with the pitch-perfect, languorous strum that Grizzly is so awesome at, but with a little more of the experimental, divergent oomph of Iron & Wine circa Woman King.

Best tracks, in order of sexiness: 1)No One Does It Like You 2) Phantom Other 3) In Ear Park 4) Waves of Rye 5) Floating on the Lehigh 6) Teenagers

And the always awesome Blogotheque totally followed the duo around as they terrorized respectable Chinese families somewhere around Apotheké:





That and Gossip Girl ("No One Does It Like You" being the soundtrack for the S2E14 "In the Realm of the Basses" opening montage, ;-D) have kind of married this band to New York for me. Department of Eagles, I love you, and can’t wait to see you live!
