I always assumed Department of Eagles (formerly
Whitey on the Moon UK) was some sort of terrible electronica outfit – boy was I mistaken. Sure, there are some electronica bits in there, along with hip-hop turntablist type of stuff, indie rock, ambient & a whole mixed bag that sounds really great together. And not only is the music terrific, but the record is this lovely white vinyl with great hand pressed (at least it looks to be) packaging, and according to the little number on the back it is a limited edition release. So if you come across one of these little devils, be sure and pick it up – they are one of the few acts out there who can blend together a number of different genres and actually make it sound like something other than trash.
