MARSHMALLOW OVERCOAT Wait for Her /the Marshmallow Theme - 45 RPM
HYPNOTIC BRIDGE
$10.00
Neo-60s psych from Tucson, Arizona. Farfisa heavy 60s style — considered an essential part of the paisley/neo-psychedelia scene of the late 1980s. The Marshmallow Overcoat's first recording deal was with Dionysus Records in Los Angeles who released their first LP, The Inner Groove, in 1987.
They received international attention for their brand of modern psychedelia, and for generating the "Arizona sound.” Influenced by The Chocolate Watchband, The Doors, The Beatles, The Byrds, Fuzztones, early Miracle Workers, Strawberry Alarm Clock, The Electric Prunes, 1960's garage/psychedelic music, their sound incorporates traditional fuzz with elements associated with these other genres, such as the use of the Farfisa organ and 12-string Rickenbacker guitars, re-created without clichéd regurgitation. Subsequent releases on Skyclad/Get Hip Records and two European labels, Music Maniac (Germany) and Psych-Out (France), and an international tour, earned them a fan base in Europe as well as the US. After the release of this album in 1996 and some live appearances, the band stopped touring with their last live performance taking place in 2008.
