Great singer/songwriters don’t need to reinvent themselves they just need to keep going and let the songs out in the world, here’s Another One. With two full-lengths and two EPs released and hundreds of sold out shows performed in the last several years, a recent late night television debut on Conan following a special guest performance on The Eric Andre Show, it seems, as Mac DeMarco nears his 25th birthday, there’s not a slack bone in the man’s body. It’s odd that despite working at the same pace as artists like Creedence, The Byrds and The Rolling Stones, coupled with an equally unending schedule of touring, press and recording, Mac is still labeled as a slacker. The record leaves you with the same satisfaction as an old Bogart movie: he’s still the hero, but he doesn’t quite get the girl. Title track “Another One” and stand out “Without Me” exhibit this bittersweet sensibility in lyrical and musical context, both melancholic and romantic, blurring the line between happy or sad nostalgia. Mac DeMarco is an unusually sensitive songwriter, capable of ferreting out what someone else might be feeling even as he’s absorbed in his own perspective.
It might be a funny scene, movie quote, animation, meme or a mashup of multiple sources. The overall feeling of the LP is lost love, or perhaps love never found, a topic that the world never tires of and one Mac can move through without it being a dour and somber experience. You can take any video, trim the best part, combine with other videos, add soundtrack. DeMarco has released six full-length studio albums, his debut Rock and Roll Night Club (2012), 2 (2012), Salad Days (2014), Another One (2015), This Old Dog (2017), and Here Comes the Cowboy (2019). Opener “The Way You’d Love Her” has a playful swing to the chords and a guitar solo that wouldn’t be out of place on a mid-period ‘Dead LP, Mac’s newly favored listening pastime. McBriare Samuel Lanyon 'Mac' DeMarco (born Vernor Winfield McBriare Smith IV April 30, 1990) is a Canadian singer-songwriter, multi-instrumentalist and producer.
It’s a track that shows the maturity of Mac’s progression as songwriter: a little bit more refined, a little bit more sophisticated, but nonetheless still retains the guts and soul of any classic Mac track. The album’s first single, “A Heart Like Hers,” centers around a pump-organ riff and lilting vocal melody that is somehow both haunting and warm.
