A while back, Yellow Ostrich was featured in an Indie Sabbath post and it included the track "Whale". Don't worry, if you missed that, I have it linked and there is a video below. The words of Nheuyingh describes the band pretty accurately: "an a capella group got together to make an indie-rock influenced album, fuses incredible vocal harmonies with minimal instrumentation, into a complex, layered and undeniably catchy tune." This marvelous album is entitled The Mistress through Barsuk Records.
Alex Schaaf, the main voice behind Yellow Ostrich, is from Wisconsin but eventually linked the other two members, Jon Natchez and Michael Tapper in New York. There is something organically beautiful about the harmonies they create. Right under the favored track "WHALE" is my second pick, "Mary". These fun loving guys are currently on tour so please check out their tour dates.
