5 songs you should have heard by now.

Like the title? I thought the blog was lacking snarky hipsterdom... Department of Eagles: Teenagers Grizzly Bear's Daniel Rossen's side project is making quite a name for itself these days. The new album, In Ear Park, has already garnered Pitchfork's seal of approval and with songs like "Teenagers" it's not hard to see why.
