About this product
Barsuk Records is pleased to announce that Brooklyn, NY trio Yellow Ostrich has joined the Barsuk family. Their Barsuk debut, the Mistress, will be released nationally on August 16th, 2011. The focal point of Yellow Ostrich's magnificent debut the Mistress is Wisconsin native Alex Schaaf's voice. On the Mistress it gets looped and layered, stretched and manipulated; it's stacked up several high and, most often, it's used as an instrument, fleshing out the empty spaces in his bare, searching songs. The album was originally recorded (largely by Schaaf himself with occasional help from a few friends) and given very limited online for free via his Bandcamp site before he hooked up with now-fulltime band mates Jon Natchez (bass, horns, vocals) and Michael Tapper (drums, vocals) in New York. Album Tracks 1. I Think U Are Great 2. Whale 3. Hate Me Soon 4. Hold on 5. Libraries 6. Hahahaohhoho 7. I'll Run 8. Campaign 9. Mary 10. Slow Paddle 11. Bread 12. Fog 13. Mary [Alternate] [Alternate Take]

2014 from the Brooklyn-based Indie Rock band. Borrowing it's title from Sagans 1980 PBS series, COSMOS expands Yellow Ostrich's intensely guitar driven Alt-Rock with dreamy electronic arrangements to mirror the mood of guitarist Alex Schaaf and drummer Michael Tappers retreats away from the everyday world. While the album embodies a sense of both wonder and isolation, Yellow Ostrich's refined melodies and dense yet delicate sonic textures make COSMOS as powerfully intimate as it is dynamic. The follow-up to Yellow Ostrich's 2012 EP GHOST, Cosmos captures that uneasy tension by merging raw guitar riffs, rich atmospherics, brain-bending electro effects, sweetly ethereal harmonies, and earnest but unsettling lyrics. Album Tracks 1. Terrors 2. Neon Fists 3. Shades 4. My Moons 5. You Are the Stars 6. In the Dark 7. Any Wonder 8. How Do You Do It 9. Things Are Fallin' 10. Don't Be Afraid
