Mac Demarco : Guitar

It’s been 6 years since Mac Demarco released a proper studio album(and no, 2023s Five Easy Hot Dogs doesn’t count.) The Canadian weirdo/slacker/multi-instrumentalist’s last proper album was 2019s Here Comes The Cowboy, an album that felt lacking when compared to the previous three LPs. This Old Dog from 2017 was his most promising, showing the […]

Mac Demarco : Five Easy Hot Dogs

Mac Demarco has always made music that lingers in weird spaces. Touches of 70s soft rock, lo fi indie, and passing glances over into outsider art. Demarco writes songs that are strangely upbeat while also feeling a little seedy; like having a conversation with a stranger that starts out seemingly benign but gradually gets uncomfortable. […]

Tim Heidecker : High School

I never would have taken Tim Heidecker of Tim and Eric fame to have been such a prolific songwriter, but here we are with his third album in three years. With What The Brokenhearted Do and Fear Of Death, released 2019 and 2020 respectively, Heidecker showed he had a knack for classic singer/songwriter fare. Introspective […]

Mac Demarco : Here Comes The Cowboy

An equal mix of earnest songwriting and underlying seediness. With 2, his […]

Mac Demarco : This Old Dog

Mac Demarco is a hard one to put your finger on. On his last two albums 2 and Salad Days there was a definitely this vibe of a true blue singer/songwriter. He could put together these breezy, carefree tunes that brought to mind Harry Nilsson, Jonathan Richman, and even Cat Stevens. But there was this […]

Mac Demarco :: Salad Days

When I first heard Mac Demarco on Rock And Roll Night Club I felt kind of queasy. It was an uncomfortable feeling, really. Even the album cover with Demarco putting on lipstick put me in mind of Jame Gumb from Silence of the Lambs doing the same thing. You know, right before the tuck and […]

Achtung!! Kraftwerk and the Wayward Music Lover

I’m not sure if it’s the season or what, but new music isn’t really hitting my ear like I’d want it to. Nothing new has been tickling my fancy. The new Boards of Canada will be coming out next week and I’m very much anticipating its arrival on my front stoop. I also ordered Thieves […]
