DEPARTMENT OF EAGLES ARCHIVE 2003-2006

cd: Department Of Eagles - Archive 2003-2006


Daniel Rossen and Fred Nicholaus were roommates at NYU when they began composing songs using samplers and goofy effects under the name Whitey On The Moon UK, borrowing their neighbor Chris Taylor’s microphone, who would later join Daniel to form Grizzly Bear.
Daniel and Fred created bedroom beats with funny lyrics as WotM, but later changed their name to Department of Eagles to avoid clashing with the similarly named San Fransisco band.
