YELLOW OSTRICH – Mistress
[10th Anniversary Deluxe Edition]
LP – Limited Edition Yellow with Black Splatter Vinyl
(*With bonus 28-track dowload)
Yellow Ostrich has returned! In celebration of the band’s beloved debut album The Mistress, here is The Mistress (10th Anniversary Edition).
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 release online for free via his Bandcamp site before he hooked up with now-fulltime bandmates Jon Natchez (bass, horns, vocals) and Michael Tapper (drums, vocals) in New York.
