Chris Brown – F.A.M.E
I’ve been sweating it out in anticipation of Chris Brown’s 2011 release F.A.M.E. Finally, FINALLY, it’s out. Obviously I’m messing with you. But shame on you for thinking that I’d write about Chris Brown just because I’m a MASSIVE DEAL in the record industry these days. Yeah, I’m talking to you Tim Watkins.
Here is a little something something to make up for getting your hopes up with all that Chris Brown talk. Hopefully this is more your sort of thing. It’s a band that Katie Brown introduced me to yesterday afternoon called Yellow Ostrich. Hopefully they won’t mind that I haven’t used their official press image.
They’re a New York trio and one of the three is formerly of Beirut so they come preloaded with indie-cred. It’s kind of what I imagine it would sound like if Taylor Rice from Local Natives had a solo project.. Their album is a sometimes chirpy/sometimes experimental thing called The Mistress. Sadly the digital album is exclusive to eMusic (which means it’s almost off limits to any Australians save the few still holding their eMusic account). They have two other EP that are free on their bandcamp which I’ve not listened to yet. Someone download the pair and fill me in.

Sometimes I read back over my own posts and I wonder what the hell I’m thinking.
