Mac Demarco - This Old Dog (Captured Tracks) 2017
9
Listening to Mac DeMarco’s new album This Old Dog is as pleasant and effortless as cruising down a river on a boat on sunny afternoon, but once you start tuning into his key lyrical themes, this boat starts rocking dangerously. This album has a life of each own, each track builds its own little universe and you’ll get absorbed into the refined melodies which vary from romantic to damn right strange. His vocal delivery is non-invasive – almost like an ethereal afterthought – yet still powerful. This album acts as a blank canvas which you can paint with the colours of the thoughts and emotions you’re going through while listening to it. A carefully crafted artistic masterpiece that will haunt you for days to come.
