Through all of the musical intricacies and variances, Rossen and Nicolaus have truly created one of the best albums of the year.

Without a heavy-handed disposition, Department of Eagles manages to convey the sentiment of another time while reaching a modern audience.
-
Ear Park provides a valuable service while showcasing Rossen as skilled composer and arranger in his own right.

In Ear Park sounds so much like Grizzly Bear that it’s difficult to recognize, at first, that it does occasionally retain the bedroom DIY aesthetic for which Department of Eagles are known, especially in the sense of its canned percussion, and at the album’s best it keeps the music attempting the scope and lushness of Grizzly Bear.
