ANTHONY GUALANO KNOWS IT’S OKAY TO TRY AGAIN

Anthony Gualano was practically a baby when he started busking on the boardwalk. Now he’s welcoming the idea of a sixth album into his musical world as Beach Daze.

But for right now he’s taking a breath.

Despite music being what he wants to do, he’s never wants to make it a job. That’s why he knew it was right to pull promo for “too many times” before it was released. It wasn’t right. It wasn’t him.

“I pulled it because I wanted to work on it more,” Gualano said of his decision. “I hate when things feel rushed. Sometimes things just need to marinate on the computer a little longer.”


Gualano’s goal with music has always been to capture the truest form of himself at the moment it was made. Comfortable with the ebbs and flows of adolescence, Gualano has sonically shifted before, and even persona polished with a change of names.

“ I was releasing music under a different name, and I changed it after I put out the album Beach Daze. It was probably like three years ago now,” Gualano said of the decision.

“too many times” finds him two years into a formal music production/sound engineer education in which he has only seen improvements. Hours used to pass as Gualano passionately played new instruments, tried new plug ings and attempted to write his first lyrics. Even with his newfound knowledge, he’s confident that he will never look back on his past work negatively.

“ During the summers when I was younger I would busk, and at the end of the summer I would take all my tips and I would buy some music gear. I bought like a focus Interface and I had like this iMac that my dad handed me down,” explained Gualano of his start. “I would always get his old computers and I saw there was garage band on there. One day I thought it was cool and I started toying around with that, and I got a bass for Christmas one year. And then my uncle gave me one of his guitars to use. I kind of had a little set up there.”

Now, finally to his liking, Gualano puts out “too many times” on all platforms. A shoegazey, Tame Impala inspired track driven by a maraca-like high hate, and a distorted clap beat will surely have your head bopping along. Here at Disaster, we don’t think it’s possible for you to listen to it too many times.

It’s too good.
