With a day dream synth and listless vocals, Demarco laments paranoia and the thought of losing love. When listening to the next track, named for the record, you can’t help but feel as if you’re floating face up, down a slow and winding theme-park river, the shabby palm tree decorations and sunset above you. An unassuming back beat and sunny guitars lay on thick the accidental charm of the artist, and plays perfectly as a transition between this record and the last. The record begins with the first single released, “The Way You’d Love Her,” easily the brightest tune from the bunch. While a little dreamier than previous releases, the LP continues the breezy, and seemingly unending stream of tunes from Demarco.
If Salad Days was a sun soaked day at the drug addled, sea-side amusement park, Another One is later that day, when the kids have gone home, and the staff gets drunk and smokes. Now, riding on the tails of his paramount release thus far, Salad Days, the now 25 year old treats listeners to a new mini-LP, Another One. In June he hosted a cover contest, the winner of which would “get PayPal’d exactly $.69 of my own money.” Earlier in the year, he sold a pair of his old sneakers for Willie Mae Rock Camp for Girls for $21,100, and released a half hour tour documentary called “Pepperoni Playboy.” There’s not one second of footage, whether audible or visual, that feels anything less than effortless, not to mention genuine, and genuinely goofy. Releasing his debut record Rock N’ Roll Night Club in 2012, Demarco’s unconditionally carefree tunes are only part of the reason for his ravenous fan base. If I were to list some of Mac Demarco’s exploits (outside of his three fantastic LP’s) you might think I was talking about one of the members of Odd Future.
