Yellow Ostrich -- Fri., 1:30 p.m. Since 2009, Alex Schaaf has made lo-fi pop under the moniker Yellow Ostrich -- first with a series of self-releases posted to Bandcamp, later in a studio to create his debut full-length, Strange Land. Released in March via Barsuk, each song plays out like a diary entry: "I don’t know if we’re still friends/I don’t know if you’re happy/but I will love you till the end/'cause I’ll still love  you badly," he sings on "I Want Yr Love." It's subtle, with carefully placed instrumentation by his backing band, layered and looped, introspective and idiosyncratic -- the sort of solo pop that shines through its oddities.
