Imagine a couple members of Grizzly Bear form a side project that’s more intimate and emotional, with equally good songwriting. Sound like the best thing ever? That’s pretty much Department of Eagles. I’ve never seen them live or even seen any video, but I’m impressed enough by their latest album, In Ear Park that I can safely say this should be a night of captivating music. I’d like to see them in a slightly smaller setting than Bowery Ballroom, but a good performer is capable of making that room feel intimate. Brooklyn’s Here We Go Magic is opening.
