Every week, Amazon.com lets us select one album from its MP3 store to go on super sale (up to 75% off normal prices). At Amazon's request, going forward we're going to feature recent releases instead of old albums you probably already own. Hopefully you'll be able to add these newer must-own LPs to your library without breaking your budget. Today's deal: Department Of Eagles' In Ear Park. It's easy to paint Department Of Eagles' In Ear Park as an alternate-lineup Grizzly Bear album: the record takes production cues from GB bassist Chris Taylor, who joins drummer Chris Bear in support of principle players Daniel Rossen and Fred Nicolaus's sophomore set. So, fair enough -- that's 3/4 of Bear right there. But what emerges, hazily, over Park's 11 songs is the distinct vision of a songwriting partnership that predates its blog-beloved counterpart. Rossen and Nicolaus have been working together since releasing 2003's Whitey On The Moon UK LP (later renamed The Cold Nose), spending the next four years sporadically assembling what would become one of 2008's finest albums.

All of that is true. Also true: With the current expansive fawning over Grizzly Bear it could be easy to temporarily forget about Dan Rossen's Department Of Eagles. It gets more difficult, though, when In Ear Park's title track is soundtracking Soft Bank commercials featuring Brad Pitt and a sensitive sumo wrestler. It gets slightly easier again...

Well, it was actually for Ed Droste's birthday, but he performed it as part of the New Yorker's "Love Is Strange" Speakeasy event this past Valentine's Day at Galapagos in Dumbo. You remember, it was the song we posted when Grizzly Bear/Department Of Eagles wanted to make sure you knew they still loved each other. Droste introduces Rossen's take...

Squeak E. Clean and DJ Zegon get lonely, so as mentioned, their N.A.S.A. project includes more guests than Disneyland. So far they've paraded out M.I.A., Spank Rock, Santigold, and Nick Zinner for "Whachadoin" and "The People Tree" featured David Byrne, Chali 2na, Gift Of Gab & Z-Trip (which beat Department Of Eagles to their Marcel Dzama cl...

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. But now that MTV has become an entire network devoted to dating shows from third-tier celebrities, those videos never quite reach TV audiences, at least not in the numbers they once did. And so vide...
