Yellow Ostrich's New Video Made Me Buy Spotify

The video will make you want the record, and you can't listen to the record with advertisements.

Yellow Ostrich is my favorite band of the morning. This video came across my desk about an hour ago and I freaked out so hard that I had to buy Spotify premium so I could listen to Strange Land (their recent record on Barsuk) without advertisements. This video for their whining, jangly indie-pop banger "Marathon Runner" is basically my idealized childhood, the one where me and a cute girl ran around in masks and lit everything on fire in super slow-motion, not the one where I played Advanced Dungeons & Dragons at the JCC and crushed on the stitched up girl from Nightmare Before Christmas (mega babe).

But enough about me - let's get back to Yellow Ostrich. This video was directed by Matthew Lessner - you can pick up a physical copy of the record right here, or, you know, just listen to it on Spotify, as I've been doing all morning.
