And maybe a place to grab some coffee.A boy hero to indie-rock fans who prize delicately demented pop, Mac DeMarco has the casual grace of early Beck, bringing a shambolic scuzz to the creamy sounds of Seventies soft rock. But if you listen closely you will find another, deeper side of the goofy Far Rockaways resident. MAC DeMARCO’s EP Another One is instrumentally really another one of his smooth, dreamy and chill records. So if you’re really determined to go on boarding the train to the Far Rockaways listen closely: ‚Stop on by. To make things even more personal, DeMARCO reveals his home address in the instrumental track My House by the Water. Lyrics like ‚Never believe in a heart like hers again’ or ‚Must be another one she loves’ are also opposing to the common girl-boy relationship shown in pop lyrics. DeMARCO shows a vunerable side of him that stands in contrast to his goofy personality and the dreamy instrumentation. His words make up unusual love songs about his beloved one moving on after a breakup. It’s MAC DeMARCO’s lyrics itself who have matured. His band knows what their strength is and and the slick instrumentation will still invite you into their weird but colorful lo-fi world.Īlthough there is an aspect of his music that has changed to the prior records. Not only because the crowd sings along, but also because the sound of the tracks from Another One fit perfectly into Mac’s musical Curriculum Vitae. As an outsider you wouldn’t notice that these are new songs. The band plays almost every track of the ‚EP whatever’ (in DeMARCO’s words) with well known tunes in between. Ignoring these boyband like circumstances revolving the show, an intimate venue like the 280 capacity strong ‘Baby’s All Right’ in Williamsburg seems like the right atmosphere for DeMARCO’s music. But MAC DeMARCO does his best to live up to the hype with a grungy ‚I hate myself and I want to die’ NIRVANA tee and his infamous crowdsurfing during the last song ‚Still together’.
When girls crush their way towards the front and half the crowd sings along to an 8-track EP released only a few days via stream, you wouldn’t think that you were seeing an alternative artist. At latter the artist proves that he’s the most known unknown rockstar of our time. No wonder, when he’ll do crazy stuff like revealing his home address or playing a 5$ secret show at a small venue in Williamsburg. Even though the most famous Far Rockaways resident sold out 4 major New Yorker venues everyone feels as if he knows and owns a certain part of him. Is it just me or is MAC DeMARCO a synonym for the Summer of 2015? Whenever I’ll have a conversation about music- whether it’s with a Londoner while waiting for a cancelled flight at Tegel, or on a chilly summer evening in Brooklyn- soon the name of the tooth-gapped boy will have up.
