Yellow Ostrich is Alex Schaaf and Michael Tapper.

Formed in Wisconsin as Alex's bedroom recording project, Yellow Ostrich became a "real band" in the summer of 2010 when Alex moved to New York City, released three EPs in one month, and recruited Michael Tapper (formerly of We Are Scientists and currently of Bishop Allen) to play drums.

The Mistress is Yellow Ostrich's first LP.
