In her review today of Department of Eagles' fine In Ear Park, Amanda Petrusich calls the album "Ambitious and complex... stuffed with cocooning harmonies and shimmering, sunlight-smacking-the-Pacific melodies-- a languid, easy West Coast record (think Randy Newman or SMiLE), infused with classic East Coast anxiety." Nowhere on the album is this tension more manifest than on "No One Does It Like You", an alternate version of which is heard here on a rooftop in the second part of the band's appearance on "Don't Look Down".

Last night at MoMA, Dan Rossen and Fred Nicolaus premiered their first video, for In Ear Park's woozy standout "No One Does It Like You." It was a PopRally event, the same performance series that has brought Sigur Rós and comedy short films to the museum in recent months. We sent Natasha Ryan to bring back images, and tapped the internet to bri...
Music videos are at a weird point in their evolution right now. Thanks to the internet, we can watch basically any video ever made whenever we want.
