Two Covers From Yellow Ostrich

I've heard a lot about Yellow Ostrich from friends, but have yet to catch him live. Recently, though, he came across my radar in the form of two great covers that got some buzz around the interwebs. The first is a cover of Rural Alberta Advantage. The second sees Mr. Ostrich giving his take on Beach House's excellent "Zebra." While I'm not convinced that these covers are improvements on the original, they are certainly talented re-takes of great songs.

Yellow Ostrich will be down at SXSW this year, and I'm hoping to catch him somewhere along the way. Anyone else I should be sure to catch next week in Austin?
