Department Of Eagles – “No One Does It Like You”

Very cool video for a great song off a great album. Department Of Eagles originally formed back in 2001 while all of its two members attended NYU and released an LP under their original moniker, the Whitney on the Moon UK. In 2004 one of the members went on to join another band you may have heard of, Grizzly Bear, while still contributing to DoE. When they reconvened to produce In Ear Park, their first full-length release, they had the help of several Grizzly Bear members who joined them for the sessions, something pretty apparent at the album’s first listen.

The video was directed by acclaimed music video director Patrick Daughters who has worked with everyone from Kings Of Leon to the Yeah Yeah Yeahs to Depeche Mode (and was responsible for the award-winning video for Feist’s “1 2 3 4″), as well as Canadian visual artist Marcel Dzama whose work you might recognize from the cover of Beck’s Guero album. This is his first foray into music video directing…not bad.
