WHAT'S YOUR MUSE? Yellow Ostrich

A feature where we ask bands/artists to choose a song that means a lot/the most to them. Then, they record a short video explaining why they chose the song and send it to us. Think of it like a video mixtape project.

This edition...
Alex Schaaf/Yellow Ostrich

Yellow Ostrich is the brainchild of one Alex Schaaf, a Wisconsin multi-instrumentalist currently based in New York. Being adept on a number of instruments provides Schaaf the ability to envision music in great detail. It sounds as though, as a songwriter, he sees things on a wider scale; he demonstrates concern for how each note, chord, and rhythm will affect not only the overall song but also each measure and passing second. On top of all this, Schaaf is undoubtedly well-versed in all different styles of music and has strong pop sensibilities.
