Marshmallow Coast at AllMusic

Nearly two decades into his career, indie pop auteur Andy Gonzales returns with Vangelis Rides Again, his ninth LP under the Marshmallow Coast banner. Mysterious, with a murky, almost sensual attitude, Vangelis runs the Coast‘s typically clever popcraft through a midnight-blue filter, resulting in nine attractive explorations that evoke the magic hours before dawn. The… Continue reading Marshmallow Coast at AllMusic

Marshmallow Coast at Rock Decibels

L’ancien élève de Elephant 6, Andy Gonzales (ex-of Montreal, The Music Tapes, Mond Brains) est de retour sous le sobriquet deMarshmallow Coast pour le dernier chapitre de sa carrière prolifique (ceci est quand même son neuvième album).

Marshmallow Coast at Flagpole

The show is billed as “Gonzalez vs. Gonzales,” but it’s a contrived controversy: Drive-By Truckers’ Jay Gonzalez and Andy Gonzales of Marshmallow Coast stress to Flagpole that they they admire each other’s work.

Instruments waft in… Continue reading Marshmallow Coast at Big Takeover

Marshmallow Coast at Warszawa

昨年カセットでは出ていましたが、ヴァイナル版となると6年ぶりです。デビュー作から丁度20年くらいが経とうとしている時期での新作です。Andy GonzalesはOf Montrealに在籍していたといっても一瞬だったと思うので、基本的にここが彼にとってはここが本拠地としてずっとやってきたと思う。そしてこの作品を聴くと、その周辺アーティストやバンド遍歴とかはあんまり関係ないというか、感じさせないとてもシンプルな演奏と歌によるもので、何気ない風景の様な音楽です。 [Link]
