The same crisp John Lennon/Phil Spector era homegrown lush production that could have walked out of Geoff Emerick's mixing board in 1972, but with that peculiar Mac touch that's completely of right now. This past spring, Mac DeMarco released Old Dog Demos, a collection of demo recordings for his most recent studio album This Old Dog.It was issued exclusively on vinyl as part of the annual Record.
Still, this is musically, lyrically and melodically good old Mac DeMarco, through and through. Standout tracks like these show Mac's widening sound, whether insights into future directions or even just welcome one-off forays into new territory. "Chamber of Reflection," a track featuring icy synth stabs and soulful crooning, wouldn't be out of place on a fantasy Shuggie Otis and Prince collaboration. The lead single, "Passing Out Pieces," set to huge overdriven organ chords, contains lines like ".never been reluctant to share, passing out pieces of me." Clearly, this isn't the same record that breezily gave us "Dreamin," and "Ode to Viceroy" but the result of what comes from their success. Written and recorded around a relentless tour schedule (which picked up all over again as soon as the LP was done), "Salad Days" gives the listener a very personal insight into what it's all about to be Mac amidst the craziness of a rising career in a very public format. My grades, where available, are in brackets at the end of the line (stars in B+ range). 1.My Old Man 03:41 2.This Old Dog 3.Baby Youre Out 4.For the First Time 5.One Another 6.Still Beating 7.Sister 8.Dreams from Yesterday 9.A Wolf Who Wears Sheeps Clothes 10.One More Love Song 11.One The Level 12.Moonlight On The River 13. For novices, we recommend a dose of Salad Days (2014) or Mac DeMarco 2 (2012).Salad Days, is the follow up to 2012's lauded "Mac DeMarco 2" which saw the Edmonton local propelled into the limelight. These are 2017 releases that Ive taken note of, listed alphabetically by artist, with VA comps at the bottom. The wonder boy of the American indie scene certainly hasn’t forgotten his schoolboy humor, offbeat stories, radiant second-hand guitars or his wobbly synths, though the general tone of this album was marked by a certain detachment, even a slightly pensive mood… Since the original album was already more acoustic than his previous records, these stripped-back Old Dog Demos, published in September 2018, will only further convince hardcore Mac fans.
Time for This Old Dog that appeared in May 2017, a viscerally melancholic album.

It’s the for fans only cream pie series that Mac DeMarco amuses himself with every year: releasing the demos from his previous album. This album bring in many great new B-Sides and unheard instrumental as expected at this point from Macs demo discs as well as the more lo-fi stripped down versions of some of the tracks from 'This Old Dog', many of which feel less like demos and more like acoustic renditions of these tracks, the majority of this record is Mac. Old Dog Demos, a 15-song LP that is divided into Demos on Side A and Instrumentals on Side B, is a truly special release. Ver Más Your browser does not support the audio element. These recordings give an intimate view into the world of Mac DeMarco, taking listeners back to the roots of Mac’s writing and recording straight from his own bedroom ‘Jizz-Jazz’ studios.
