Marshmallow Coast (M Coast) is an indie pop band associated with the
Elephant Six Collective.
Background The band began as a solo recording project of singer/songwriter
Andy Gonzales, who first recorded as Marshmallow Coast in 1996 with a
self-released cassette, which featured contributions from Joel Richardson
of The Minders. After a split single release, Gonzales met up with old
friend and Neutral Milk Hotel member Julian Koster to record Timesquare.
While it was recorded in 1997, it did not get released until 2000 due to
various label disputes.
Gonzales, after releasing some more singles, dropped the Marshmallow Coast
project temporarily to tour with Music Tapes, Koster's side project, and
relocate to Athens, GA in 1997. In Athens, Gonzales met with Kevin Barnes
and Derek Almstead, singer/songwriter and bassist/ engineer of the
relativelynew Of Montreal. With Barnes, Gonzales recorded Marshmallow
Coast's second album,
Athfest 2007
