Not like live television debut, I mean like they had never before played as a band in public until last night, when they did so before a nationally televised audience. No pressure, guys. And yes that came pretty fast, but they had Bookeaters to plug, and chances are Rossen made a fan of Conan's music booker last time he was on. Dan and Fred performed In Ear Park standout "No One Does It Like You" with a makeshift Department comprising Grizzly's Chris Bear on drums, Dirty Projectors' Angel Deradoorian on background vocals, and someone I don't recognize but probably from Brooklyn on bass. (UPDATE: It's Nat Baldwin, who I like a lot actually) The Williamsburg supergroup got through it well enough, although Fred ends with a little sigh of relief that says "maybe next time let's do more shows before being on TV?" Fair enough, Fred's sigh of relief. Fair enough.

But the article uses contextually ...

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...

Sporting a member from the universally lauded folk outfit Grizzly Bear, Department of Eagles will undoubtedly be approached by many with a sideband-stigma. Luckily for its core members, Daniel Rossen and Fred Nicolaus, and music fans alike, their sophomore album, In Ear Park, not only steps out of
