Department of Eagles Soundtrack Brad Pitt Ad (Video)

... You're right reader I just invented for this post. You're damn right.
But this ad was directed by Spike Jonze and is soundtracked by Department of Eagles, the great side project of Grizzly Bear's Dan Rossen. The song featured is "In Ear Park," the titled track to their second LP. I wish someone would carry me when my shoes break, and play Department of Eagles everywhere I go.
