Department of Eagles - The Cold Nose (Bonus Tracks)

Released: 09/01/2012 Melodic
The Brooklyn duo's bizarre but masterful 2005 collection of musical brain splurges is rooted in beatsy electro and guitars, but ultimately defies categorisation. This timely re-release, which now includes demo versions and remixes, shows the importance and relevance of esoteric, glitchy bedroom production in today's mainstream music industry.

allmusic“It makes its own sort of idiosyncratic sense after a few listens...” A highly enjoyable, occasionally incredibly goofy tapestry of sample-heavy downtempo instrumentals, quirky electronic pop songs, and giggly pisstakes...

The Line of Best Fit“Equivalent to that funny weird kid, who turns out to be a riot at parties..” The results are stunning, and absolutely merit a reissue a mere six years later – you know, just in case you’d forgotten what a bad-ass nugget of experimental brilliance this album is...

Drowned In Sound“One hell of an experimental and ambitious record...” It’s not so much that you drift off at the low points, rather that the highs jar you back to full attentiveness. Yes it’s flawed, but as freshman records go, this is an exciting template for a career of overwhelming prettiness...
