Yellow Ostrich
The newest album, Trying (2025), is Yellow Ostrich’s most expansive to date—a 14-song collection that emerged after a prolonged creative drought and a sudden, feverish burst of inspiration, written largely over just three days. The album was made with a star-studded list of Minneapolis legends — besides collaborating with the bandmates, it was recorded with Holly Hansen at Salon Sonics, and later mixed by Nat Harvie (Low, Circuit des Yeux, Laamar) and mastered by Alec Ness (Brittany Howard, Bonnie Prince Billy).

Eldest Daughter
