Yellow Ostrich started in 2009 with Alex Schaaf writing songs and playing guitar. Their first album, The Mistress, came out in 2011 and included the track Marathon Runner. The band has put out other records like Strange Land in 2013 and Memory Loss in 2015.
Schaaf's vocals and guitar work give the music its shape, with other musicians sometimes joining in. Songs like Campaign and Daughter show the kind of quiet, thoughtful writing that runs through their work. They've kept at it without much fanfare, just putting out albums when they're ready.
Keep it compact: a lyric you come back to, a live memory, or the part of the catalog you would point someone toward first.
