The Marshmallow Overcoat

“Wait For Her” b/w “The Marshmallow Theme”

Band leader Timothy Gassen’s decades-long fascination with Rickenbacker-based psych pop is the impetus for “Wait For Her,” with guitarist Matt Rendon coaxing those glorious trademark sounds from a 12-string Rickey, along with a full complement of other vintage instruments the band uses whenever and wherever possible.

The ‘60s tradition of having a band theme song is the inspiration for “The Marshmallow Theme,” with its buoyant call-to-action of learning to “float away.” Like the A-side, it features a range of classic gear, including Vox amps, fuzz boxes, Rickenbacker bass and 12-string, and Vox and Farfisa organs.

Singles are pressed on 7-inch, 45 rpm vinyl records.
