Mareux announces new album 'Nonstop Romance' + shares 'Laugh Now Cry Later'

LA's Aryan Ashtiani introduces a sophomore effort expanding further into darkwave excellence.

On June 27th, Mareux (Aryan Ashtiani) will release Nonstop Romance via Revolution / Warner Records, delivering new music just in time for the highly anticipated Cruel World Festival this May. With themes of dreamlike love and joy and tracks that slightly counteract said themes, Mareux takes listeners on an emotional rollercoaster narrated by vibrancy, as evident on lead single Laugh Now Cry Later. Varying goth-pop elements and influence collide beautifully for one infectious (and introspective) listening experience.

Mareux comments on the track:

“I started writing this song way back in 2018 and it’s gone through several evolutions since then. At the time, I was coming off of a bad relationship and was feeling bitter. I brought it back recently, not inspired by my own misfortunes, but those of some of my friends. This song is a standout on the album, not because it’s better than the other songs, but because it’s the saddest song on it."
