alex schaaf is yellow ostrich. he is from new york via wisconsin and has crafted some masterful songs with just his voice, loops, and a drum machine for some EPs. he's recruited others (notably the drummer from we are scientists) for his new collection of songs called the mistress. the vocal harmonies are still front and center, but now they are backed by an equally intriguing and dense soundtrack. it's definitely worth a listen. two tracks are below, and the entire album is available as a pay-what-you-want download...so...download it. he has also put together a kickstarter campaign to raise funds to get the album pressed on vinyl so if you find yourself enjoying the tunes, you really ought to give a little. he's a talent.
you can also catch yellow ostrich play a live studio set on KEXP radio on tuesday, 11/30 at noon eastern time. you can listen in via KEXP's website.
