yellow ostrich cosmos
Brooklyn’s Yellow Ostrich return with their fifth full length album Cosmos next Tuesday, February 25, via Barsuk Records. Baring the same name as the 1980’s PBS series by Carl Sagan, Cosmos is an homage to the late astronomer. Band leader Alex Schaaf shared the following on Sagan:

“Something I really like about the Carl Sagan way of thinking is how it’s a very un-ironic and sincere amazement at how the world works. One of the main things I was thinking about in writing this album is how to take that viewpoint and bring it into real-world life. It’s one thing to be reading all these books and watching all these movies in a very small room, or-as Michael did-to go out and live under the stars for a while. But trying to inject that pure amazement into day-to-day living in a big city is something completely different.”
