Please enjoy a very eclectic mix of sounds that occur inside my transparent head.

SInce I missed out on Grizzly Bear’s show last year (I know… such an idiot) , this will be my first time seeing Daniel Rossen perform. And, well…he’s an inspiration lately, so I think I’m pretty excited.

Tonight, tonight, tonight!

Department of Eagles, live at the Troubadour. SOLD OUT.

UPDATE:

Here’s a little itsy bitsy portion of my view from the show. This is a new song and I was standing just behind this camera, enjoying every bar of the piece.  Sorry it cuts out early, but you get the idea…

There was a Myspace bulletin earlier in the week posted by Grizzly Bear’s Ed Droste recommending a new band that he’s obsessed with lately. After hearing the 3 songs they have out and about, I too have become somewhat infatuated with Here We Go Magic. Formed by Brooklyn’s genre-bending singer/songwriter, Luke Temple, Here We Go Magic does something special with their lo-fi-new-prog-alt-freak-folk sound that Brooklyn is well known for harboring.

Playing alongside Peter Hale (drums) and Baptiste Ibar (bass) for live performances, Temple’s voice, guitar, and original use of distortions are that of a nuance close to a timeless journey through many decades in my ears. Their tempo and timber give ode to the finest of montage rock songs that fit between the ages of psychodelia, early seventies ballads, and post-punk indie rock, but without the drama or glam.

If you dig Grizzly Bear, Department of Eagles, Dirty Projectors, or any other expressive new bands that challenge all genres, then I believe you’ll be looking for this album when it drops February 24th.

If you’re a fan of the Brooklyn based band, Grizzly Bear, then you’ve probably heard of Department of Eagles. The original project, turned side project of Grizzly’s Daniel Rossen and his NYU roommate, Fred Nicolaus, Department of Eagles touches close to the more known Bear band, but it envelops a sense of experimentalism and freedom of instrumentation into Rossen and Nicolaus’s minds. As connoisseurs and revelers of the new cherished movement of timeless rock/folk/pop/electronic/progressive music in Brooklyn, Department of Eagles has released their second effort, and the effort in my opinion is perfection. In Ear Park is quite different than their first release and it touches closer to Grizzly Bear in the way that it is pure cascades of harmonies, classical instruments, and dreamy soundscapes of love, relationships, family, and youth. This is the album I’ve been looking for all year, and I think you’ll love it too.

Here’s some examples of the new album, In Ear Park:
