Andy Gonzales released his seventh Marshmallow Coast album, Phreak Phantasy, earlier this year on Happy Happy Birthday to Me Records, and the University of Georgia’s redandblack.com has an interview up (thanks to Randy for the link) in which he drops the news that he’s working on a re-recording of the second Marshmallow Coast album, 1999’s Seniors and Juniors. That album, which has become a cult favorite, was originally released on Kindercore Records. It was a decidedly lo-fi concept album about going to school–charming little songs closed out with the notably epic “Little Pythagoras.” The “remake” will most likely appear on HHBTM. Andy confirmed to me, “I am recording Super Seniors and Juniors which has lots of electro and new arrangements, and will have pretty much everyone I know playing on it (as long as it fits). Emily Growden-Almstead [M Coast] is singing some of the songs, and in place of the instrumentals, I am adding new Pink Floyd/David Lynch-ish instrumentals that I recorded recently.”
Don’t expect this intriguing experiment to surface until sometime next year. HHBTM will also be reissuing the first and third Marshmallow Coast albums, Timesquare and Marshmallow Coasting, on limited-edition vinyl with his early singles as bonus tracks.
