And with less studio fuss than there was on “Salad Days,” it all sounds easy and intimate, and fittingly so. “Just to Put Me Down” is hypnotically repetitive, shifting but never really evolving, and “No Other Heart” has the sway of ‘60s pop with a touch of ‘70s haze. Now he has shared another song from the album, On the Level. Previously he shared the album’s first two tracks, title track This Old Dog and My Old Man, as well as a video for This Old Dog. “The Way You’d Love Her” is tipsy and dizzying thanks to heavy use of slide and something slightly off balance in the pacing. Mac DeMarco is releasing a new album, This Old Dog, on May 5 via Captured Tracks. The drumming is nothing more than a light rain and guitar lines amble along or else loosely unwind, and when DeMarco decides to use the slide, he really lays it on, to the point where the whole album sounds warped. It’s sunny but a little sea sick.ĭeMarco wrote more on the keys this time, and played them more too, cushioning his melodies with beds synthesizers. As a result, “Another One” reflects what DeMarco described to NPR as “beautiful” but also “disgusting.” “Another One” is beachy in a blissed-out and breezy Mac DeMarco way, but not in the California way. He wrote the album’s eight songs in one week and recorded them in a week and a half in a house on the bay in Far Rockaway, Queens - a thin peninsula beach town that’s about as remote as New York City gets.
Now you’re in the world of “Another One.”įor his follow-up to “Salad Days,” Mac DeMarco pulled on the reigns of production to make an album that’s simple, quiet and completely lovely. Picture yourself sitting on a beach: The sun is out, the breeze is light and the waves gently lap at the shore, bringing in a dead fish and the iridescent shine of gasoline.
