"Wayne, Maine resident Alex Schaaf makes lo-fi folk-infused indie pop as Yellow Ostrich. This particular track is taken from the "Whalemary" 7" that came out earlier this year; you can check out that release (as well as others) at Yellow Ostrich's Bandcamp. Follow that bird!" -- Pitchfork, 8/5/10
"We've always appreciated the sort of unique approaches to music creation that Yellow Ostrich (Alex Schaaf) has undertaken in the past and his latest EP, Fade Cave, is no exception. Using only a drum machine and his voice, and without sounding redundant (seriously), Schaaf has carved out six impressive tracks that generously sway from hypnotic hymnals to Beach Boys homages." -- I Guess I'm Floating, 8/4/10
"Alex has found best partners in himself and his looped self. One layer is marked by fresh-faced modesty. The other by rough natural talent. Maybe a third by focused composition. All with that same buttery voice. The following beauties will be featured on an upcoming unreleased album. Can't wait for the world to hear it." - Just Sayin' Is All, 3/10/10
"One cannot escape the feeling that Alex Schaaf is simply a musical genius, and more importantly, a musical genius that is also a terrific singer. Wild Comfort has its highs and lows, many of which are intentional, and whether individual bits work or not, the album as a whole certainly leaves the listener on an overall high note." - Plumbiferous, 1/10/10
"Alex Schaaf effortlessly creates sincere emotional bedroom indie rock that is easy to listen to, but also easy to fall in love with. Every word from his warm, delicate voice hits home with me. This is music that can warm you up during the coldest night. These really hit home for me!" - We All Want Someone to Shout For, 1/10/10
