New York’s Yellow Ostrich will release their new album, Strange Land, on March 6, 2012. Strange Land is the follow-up to the acclaimed The Mistress, and is self-produced with engineer Beau Sorenson (Death Cab for Cutie, Sparklehorse). The Mistress was also self-produced, and was made by singer/guitarist Alex Schaaf on his own, playing all the instruments.

Once upon a time, tucked away in the upper left hand corner of America, there was a little company called Barsuk Records. Now Barsuk wasn’t your regular everyday record company. No, they were much different than that. While most other record companies were busy maximizing on every drop of musical content available, Barsuk would nurture and protect. They would create a safe environment for their artists to flourish in and find new waves of creativity to ride. How beautiful and blissful. And yet, believe it or not, it’s not so far from the truth… Read more...
