《In Ear Park》这张由4AD荣誉出品，来自Department Of Eagles的新专辑，提起他们，会有些陌生，但是如果提起Grizzly Bear，相信熟悉的人不少。要按辈分算，Department Of Eagles其实也可以算做是Grizzly Bear的前身了。而Grizzly Bear的灵魂人物Daniel Rossen，则在组建Grizzly Bear 三年前Department Of Eagles就已经成立了，虽然Daniel Rossen已经有了现在Grizzly Bear 的新发展项目，但是Daniel Rossen并没有放弃Department Of Eagles这个老牌子，虽然Department Of Eagles的牌子并没有现在的Grizzly Bear的响亮。现在的Department Of Eagles仍然还是由Daniel Rossen和朋友Fred Nicolaus俩个人在持续着。Daniel Rossen又顾东又顾西，这张新专辑《In Ear Park》有着不轻的分量，单单是俩只单曲“No One Does It Like You ”和“Teenagers ”就足够揪心，所以《In Ear Park》绝对是张耐人寻味的专辑。

When they first hit the underground scene, the Pixies were like an exotic drink that hid its sweetness behind a ferocious bite. The album's production is like a crude explosion: every strum and clang comes down with the subtlety of a sledgehammer. English and Spanish lyrics collide as singer Black Francis (later Frank Black) shouts in a hoarse monotone and Mrs. John Murphy (later Kim Deal of the Breeders) backs him up with throaty wails. Yet somehow the clash of these bruising titans makes for tracks that print indelibly upon your consciousness--once let in. Kurt Cobain is their most famous student. He grafted the Pixies' time-honored craft of the big bang theory onto Nirvana's biggest hits. (You start with a quiet verse and then explode for catharsis in the chorus--evidenced best here with "I've Been Fired.") The Pixies themselves have served quietly, attaining post-punk godfather status not by tooting their own horns, but through the praise of a steady stream of genuflecting admirers whose word of mouth continues to increase the band's deserved critical standing. --Rob O'Connor
