Department of Eagles – ‘Brightest Minds’
Archive 2003 – 2006, a collection of unreleased songs from Department of Eagles will be released in mid-July.
Daniel Rossen of Grizzly Bear and Fred Nicolaus make up the group who released the gorgeous In Ear Park in 2008. Listen to a song from the upcoming Archive album called ‘Brightest Minds’. The band actually have six other releases dating from 2002-2007, the earliest stuff of which was sample-based. From 2006 on, they began recording themselves so this record will likely be a scattershot collection of the band figuring out their sound.
