Marshmallow Overcoat – Wait For Her/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 (The Resonars, Butterscotch Cathedral, The Noble Krell, etc.) 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.
