Mareux - Laugh Now Cry Later

Post-punk, dark wave, and electronic artist Mareaux, who is based in sunny California, releases the first track from his upcoming album, the gutwrenching and equally fascinating "Laugh Now Cry Later." The title of Mareux’s sophomore album is absolutely beautiful, Nonstop Romance and yet I can also sense something dramatic going on here too. When asked about "Laugh Now Cry Later," Mareux (Aryan Ashtiani) says:

“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.”

He lets us in further into his thought process, with a really cool angle, and explains:

“I’m trying to make something that’s reflective of me getting older. Could you put it on in your house with people around and not bring the mood down?”
