The Marshmallow Staircase - I Wanna Be Your Stranger EP | Summersteps Records
I would like to take some time to share this new EP by my friend, Jeff Gilotti, and his Psychedelic Space-Rock project from back home in Scranton, Marshmellow Staircase. I've known Jeff for close to 10 years. Back in my radio daze, I was I got to know him and his work through him being a fan of my show, where I invited him to discuss and share his musical projects. We found we shared a similar fondness for the likes of Iron Butterfly, Suicide, the Silver Apples, Acid Mothers Temple, as well as many of the intense comps that were put out on Erik Lindgren's Arf! Arf! label. I've very happily seen Jeff work his way from putting out handmade music on his own, to his more recent recordings with the close cooperation of my friends' Eric and Cassie Schlitter's Summersteps label. I can say with tremendous pride that this is EP is Jeff's best work. Both the title track and "That's Why You're Not My Girl" have a really awesome edge the way the music by Suicide, the Lyres, and (especially most recently in my new adopted city of LA) the Warlocks. The first track will, of course, be from the upcoming album, "Gunslingers" (which has an awesome picture of one of my childhood heroes, Annie Oakley), and the second is a previously unreleased gem, so I can't wait to hear more of the same. I would also highly recommend that you check out more music from the Summersteps roster at: http://summerstepsrecords.bandcamp.com/
