Andy Gonzales (ex-of Montreal, the Music Tapes, Mind Brains) pursues his music for passion, not profit nor substance. His latest work, Vangelis Rides Again, is perhaps the most ambitious yet, a fragile tapestry of prog-pop that soothes and haunts in equal measure. Every track is like an after-hours symphony conjured in a broken hotel bar, a soft yet urgent soundtrack to an impending apocalypse. It's a record of discordant beauty, a melancholic ode etched in a rare mixture of emotion and mystery. Marshmallow Coast delivers its most captivating album yet, an unread story of sorrow and solitude.
