Brooklyn duo Department of Eagles - Daniel Rossen of Grizzly Bear alongside his friend Fred Nicolaus - have inked a deal with 4AD. The label will release the pair's second LP In Ear Park on October 6.

The album - the follow-up to 2003's well-received The Cold Nose - was recorded in the band's hometown by fellow Grizzly Bear type Chris Taylor, and its tracklisting looks like this:

'In Ear Park'
'No One Does It'
'Phantom Other'
'Teenagers'
'Around the Bay'
'Herring Bone'
'Classical Records'
'Waves of Rye'
'Interlude'
'Floating on the Lehigh'
'Balmy Night'

The title track can currently be heard here. About the LP, Daniel comments:

"In Ear Park has been in the making in one form or another for several years now, on and off tour and after work. A lot of these songs felt way too personal to bring to Grizzly Bear - there's a lot of childhood nostalgia and an emphasis on more concise songwriting. Fred and I had license to try some things that I could never get away with otherwise, but we still went for the lushness and and attention to sonic detail that Chris and I always want out of a recording. I'm excited."

Good for them!

Frankly, Melodic did very little to promote what was a very fine debut. Hopefully, they will receive much better treatment from 4AD. Very much looking forward to the new one.

God damn them!

I've been listening to 'No One Does It Like You' for nearly a year now, and it's great, but now they go and decide it's called 'No One Does It'.

DO THESE PEOPLE NOT HAVE ANY CONSIDERATION FOR LAST.FM USERS?

DAMN THEM TO HELL.
