Details:

It’s usually not a good sign when a quirky band goes out of its way to be conventional. But for Alex Schaaf and Yellow Ostrich, it’s the right call. Schaaf’s one-man debut The Mistress made the most of its limitations, using vocal loops and sprightly guitars to give everything a blithe, uncomplicated charm. But to promote the record (including gigs with Ra Ra Riot and The Antlers), he needed backing musicians, and Yellow Ostrich became a bona fide rock band in the process. Given the impressive talents of drummer Michael Tapper (formerly of We Are Scientists) and multi-instrumentalist Jon Natchez, it’s hard to imagine the band restricting itself to The Mistress’ lo-fi aesthetic.
