A few months ago a new article in my favorite magazine, Nylon, came out, featuring Daniel Radcliffe. One of my favorite questions they ask him is "what is your favorite band right now?" When I first fell in love with different music (around the same time I fell in love with Daniel Radcliffe, so let's say about age 12) he introduced me, in an article of course, to The Strokes. Well they happen to be my favorite band now so of course anything he says I'm going to look up. Well, in the Nylon magazine article he told us his favorite new band was Yellow Ostrich.
As an American indie band they are very talented for their size and status. Their newest album Strange Land came out in 2012 (and they had it at CD Warehouse!!!!!) and their first album The Mistress came out in August of 2011. The Mistress is definitely much more raw with full harmonies and the idea that they were literally recording it in a garage. Their second album Strange Land still has that unique sound to it but the songs are much more put together and some of the harmonies are even Beatlesesque. They sound a bit like a cross between early Strokes and early Tokyo Police Club (in their robot days). Personally I love the sounds of both of their albums. The songs are strange yet oddly catchy. You can get lost in "Mary." I'm just hoping that CD Warehouse gets a copy of The Mistress soon! I am loving this band, Dan has done it again.
Songs to look out for:
