DEPARTMENT OF EAGLES LANDING

said eagles have chosen l'Archiduc as their landing spot second to come friday. which is the fifth of the twelfth. yeah, MMVIII. most of you know l'Archiduc (from stumbling inside at dawn probably, ya drunkards!), but for the people who haven't had the honour yet, it's on the dansaert street. number six, that number again is six. six is the number, brussels is the city and speed is key! for behold:

"Tickets by guest/invitation only. A limited number of tickets will be available as a give-away; send an email ticket request (with subject: Department of Eagles) to: steven@toutpartout.be." - departmentofeagles.com

but who are these birds not birds?



half of them is a quarter of the amazing Grizzly Bear whose new record in spring 2009 will dazzle us all, i'm sure. the other half is Daniel Rossen's former NYU roommate Fred Nicolaus. together they have an excellent record out called In Ear Park which features eleven pop songs full of acoustic guitars, reverb, a melancholic but rarely depressing or pathetic feel throughout, smooth mid-tempo drums and marvellous production by Chris Taylor (also of Grizzly Bear) which should be properly listened to on a good sound system or headphones.

my impression is that they chose the modus operandi of whomever writes the song has to sing it. in that respect i'd like to present you my favourite by each.

daniel: No One Does It Like You
fred: Teenagers

to be honest and not stick too many feathers up their already falconiformic ass, halfway through the record there's a slight downfall into the depths of slight ennui. hence the "rarely" mentioned earlier, but it's still goddamn grand and deserves your attention.

furthermore they have a website with very well-recorded live video material and a section they call "Squaresville". it's kids drawing to their music and it's fun, YEAH! the same thing goes for the party at De Markten we deejayed at last saturday. i think they're going to make it a steady, recurring thing. which is awesome. mmmmmmmmmmmm boner.
