[Yellow Ostrich – Marathon Runner](http://www.musicsavage.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/03-Marathon-Runner.mp3)

Super excited for a brand new album from Yellow Ostrich. They’ve recently signed to Barsuk, and now are new full-length that builds upon the success from *the Mistress*. The first cut from their upcoming album, *Strange Land,* is one damn fantastic song titled “Marathon Runner,” an indie-rock styled track with pounding drums, moody guitar riffs and it feels as though the band was making a statement with this song. It’s anthemic, hammering, a bit of bombast, and one you’ll be consistently turning louder and louder as the song reaches its climactic, critical mass feel. They are becoming a band I can not avoid, and I’m constantly going back and listening to and I’m extremely excited for a new album from them.

Look for them in town to start the tour, debuting a lot of this new material with 1,2,3 backing them up.
