Yellow Ostrich - Cosmos (New Vinyl LP)

Vinyl LP pressing. 2014 release from the Brooklyn-based Indie Rock band. Borrowing it”s 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 guitarist Alex Schaaf and drummer Michael Tapper”s retreats away from the everyday world. While the album embodies a sense of both wonder and isolation, Yellow Ostrich”s refined melodies and dense yet delicate sonic textures make Cosmos as powerfully intimate as it is dynamic. The follow-up to Yellow Ostrich”s 2012 EP Ghost, Cosmos captures that uneasy tension by merging raw guitar riffs, lush atmospherics, brain-bending electro effects, sweetly ethereal harmonies, and earnest but unsettling lyrics.
