Yellow Ostrich "The Mistress" 10th Anniversary

Yellow Ostrich has returned! In celebration of the band's beloved 2011 debut album , we're excited to announce The Mistress (10th Anniversary Edition). In anticipation, Yellow Ostrich founder Alex Schaaf will perform The Mistress in its entirety on Thursday, December 10, at 9:30pm ET / 6:30pm PT via a free livestream, viewable at Yellow Ostrich's Facebook page, the Barsuk YouTube page, or Barsuk's Instagram. This all heralds the return of Yellow Ostrich, who are working on new music for release on Barsuk in 2021.

The Mistress (10th Anniversary Edition) will include the original 10-track album, plus a 28-track download including all three 2011 Barsuk bonus tracks, four previously unreleased b-sides, an early alternate version of the hit "WHALE", plus 10 covers (recorded in 2010) of songs that inspired founder Alex Schaaf during the writing and recording of The Mistress: songs by Beach House, Jon Brion, Dirty Projectors, The National, Joanna Newsom, The Replacements, The Rural Alberta Advantage, The Tallest Man on Earth, Sharon Van Etten, and Yeasayer.

The vinyl release, which has been out of print for years, will be pressed on limited-edition yellow vinyl with black splatter, available for pre-order now and will ship in the spring of 2021. A digital release of the deluxe anniversary edition will arrive in early 2021. 03 Dec 2020
