Yellow Ostrich, the Minneapolis-based indie rock project led by Alex Schaaf, made a lasting impression with The Mistress, a quirky and inventive album that draws comparisons to acts like Vampire Weekend while carving out its own distinctive space in the alternative rock landscape. Originally released in 2011 on Barsuk Records, the album has earned a devoted following for its imaginative songwriting and offbeat charm.
This 10th anniversary edition of The Mistress is a treat for longtime fans and newcomers alike, celebrating a record that has long been sought after by collectors since going out of print. Beyond the original 10-track album, this release is packed with bonus material including rare Barsuk bonus tracks, previously unreleased b-sides, an early alternate version of fan favorite "WHALE," and vintage covers of songs by artists who inspired Schaaf — including Beach House, The National, Joanna Newsom, Sharon Van Etten, and more.
