Last year for me was "The Summer of Happymeal". Within the span of four months, The Grey Marshmallow released six surprisingly strong albums that further expanded the scope of BEAcore. I thought I'd do a retrospective this week of it, especially now that I may understand the artist more than I did back then.


Uni by The Grey Marshmallow

Happymeal started his music career with a bang here, all the fundamentals already in place. In the amoeba motif we already see his pet theme of alienation showing itself, but the first half of the album seems focused on showing the beautiful side of what others would call "gross". Most amazingly, though, the Grey Marshmallow's first release completely understands suspense and how to structure the moods of his music. During "A Repeating Endeavor", you do feel a pang of sadness; during the fight ofAttempts at Cellular View", you do feel dramatic tension. And then on closer "Cease", the happy experimental ending is completely earned. (This is also probably his most jazzy album)


Fare by The Grey Marshmallow

This has always been one of my favorites from him. It's a chip tune concept album of sorts about a videogame character who can't pay a toll. The album starts with a riff on the opening of Kubrick's A Clockwork Orange, but soon uses a key change to show that there will be a slightly more cartoonish look at violence and tragedy. It continues through a bevy of tracks that resemble both trance and classical crossover, but what The Grey Marshmallow does best is put you in the character's uncool shoes. Last summer I said something along the lines of, "If Hayden who makes music for autists, then The Grey Marshmallow makes music for getting into the mind of said autists". There's a sense of melancholy throughout the album, yet it's easy to wonder whether the 16-bit aesthetic is supposed to be a commentary on the game industry, much like Cronenberg's Existenz. Whatever it is, this really is a special album, and even Happymeal haters should give it a chance.
