Brooklyn’s Yellow Ostrich is getting a lot of deserved buzz lately, and not just because of their ex-We Are Scientist drummer Michael Tapper. The band crafts some truly original, sparse, and intriguingly percussive "avant-rootsy" tunes – darn, we don’t have that genre in our charts database, but "Alt Folk" will do (they are in 11th position in our National Alt Folk chart!). They also just released with this video for their single "Whale" – which today is NPR’s song of the day. We are pleased to announce that they will be performing at one of The Deli’s CMJ Music Marathon shows at The Delancey on Saturday October 22, with Sea of Bees and Monogold.
