It’s been a year and a half since Dan Rossen and his longtime songwriting partner Fred Nicolaus dropped us a demo of “No One Does It Like You” as a tease to the duo’s first Department Of Eagles album since their years-old debut Whitey And The Moon UK. It wasn’t that D.O.E.’s next album was then imminent, per se, but I also don’t think things weren’t supposed to take quite this long to launch — you can probably blame that on Grizzly Bear’s nonstop activity and various offers they could not refuse. Anyway the time has finally come, or it least it will come in about six weeks, when In Ear Park makes its way out on 4AD. We heard the title track earlier this summer, and now it’s the album version of what logically must-be-the-album’s-best-song because-it-is-really-good, “No One Does It Like You.”

Doherty’s boys are not welcome at Westbury’s Moonfest after British intelligence officials offered this detailed analysis of the band’s effect on audiences: “They speed up and then slow down the music and create a whirlpool effect in the crowd. They [the crowd] all get geed up and then they start fighting” (via Guardian). Analysis is the best. (Thanks to our British readers for all the tips. Your reward: Pete and Lee Mavers make a video. Watch out for geed up whirlpools though.)

There’s also a performance of “On The Water,” and despite how much we love You & Me, it’s the awesomely awkward banter that’s worth the click. Also it’s a nice guide of things not to try and small talk about with Ham: inspiration, buses, Paul Shaffer, anything at all. Watch it at Fox 5.

Guillemots are all about branding. Much like the red-hued video for “Get Over It,” there’s lots of red in the video for “Kriss Kross” (the album’s called Red, bingo). The dark-to-light kriss-krossing track came packing a typewriter riff and general prime-time-criminal-drama vibe as a free download a ways back. In its video form, it comes packing super saturated effects, oversized shades, and Fyfe looking like a bit like Jamie Lidell.

Yep you better believe I copied and pasted that song title. Anyone that’s seen Sigur Rós this year, or has had access to the internet and a tendency to visit music related websites such as this one, will recognize the Sigur attire in this video as the band’s go to uniform (with the exception of drummer Orri Páll Dýrason, who is playing the part of King). This means that the “Inni” vid features 100% more clothing than the last video for a Sigur Rós song. Sorry about that.
