Yellow Ostrich raise their collective head to announce their first UK live tour and a May album entitled 'Cosmos' out thru Barsuk Records on 5th.
The album will be preceded by single 'Neon Fists', released on April 28. Listen to the track below.
Before starting on writing this album, singer/guitarist Alex Schaaf moved into the band’s Brooklyn practice space and immersed himself in the study of such astronomers as Carl Sagan and Frank Drake. Around the same time, Yellow Ostrich drummer / percussionist Michael Tapper ventured into the infinite in a much more literal sense by departing on a sailing trip from Mexico to Hawaii that left him out at sea for nearly a month.
Borrowing its title from Sagan’s 1980 PBS series, Cosmos expands Yellow Ostrich’s intensely guitar-driven alt-rock with dreamy electronic arrangements to mirror the mood of Schaaf and Tapper’s retreats away from the everyday world.
