New Tunes from Yellow Ostrich

One of the records that I thought a lot of people overlooked was The Mistress by Yellow Ostrich, which was later deservedly reissued.  Finally, the band returns with Strange Land, which will hit stores on March 6th via Barsuk.  This first new glimpse finds the band confident as ever, offering up a nice piece of indie rock with crashing cymbals and clever bits of guitar chords swirling about.  It harkens back to a more straight-forward approach to songwriting, free of gimmicks for the most part, instead focusing on lyrical content that requires a great deal of your attention.  It’s always a pleasure to see this sort of music resurface in the greater landscape; don’t you agree?
