Though it might seem like just a bunch of descriptive animal names, this song “Whale” by Yellow Ostrich has been circling my ears for the last week, and I’ve got kind of a thing for whales. Alex Schaaf makes some surprisingly well produced, yet at times, lo-fi sounding music. Composed, orchestrated, harmonized, and prolific. He’s got more albums, EPs, and singles than you can shake a stick at and he’s giving them all away for free over here. I haven’t even begun to break the surface of his material, but I already know he’s one to look out for.
