Hooray for Tuesday's MP3: Marsmallow Coast Listens to Your Heart Beat

Published Tuesday, March 06, 2007 by Jeff | E-mail this post

Andy Gonzales' solo recording project has always been called Marshmallow Coast, so when he finally landed a band lineup proper--and handed over some of the singing and songwriting duties to bandmates--he naturally changed the name to M Coast (they recently released their first album, Say it in Slang, on Happy Happy Birthday to Me Records). Today's weekly rarity is a really, really old Marshmallow Coast song, and the sound is high on the charm and low on the fi. It was recorded when Andy was still with Of Montreal, and around this time both he and Kevin Barnes would swing different references to each other's bands in their songs--see if you can catch the Of Montreal reference in this one. It's the entirety of Marshmallow Coast's contribution to the Kindercore Single of the Month club from March of 2000 (the other side belonged to a one-off from Of Montreal's Dottie Alexander, My First Keyboard).
