Mac then shared another one from Another One titled “Another One.” This song was released alongside a music video in which Mac, in the goofy fashion that he is infamous for, impersonates the late great Michael Jackson. Never really got your chance to show her, what it really means to love her. The song is very reminiscent of his fan-favorite album Salad Days the lyrics give a subtle hint into Mac’s private life and even more, a look into the mind of a heartbroken man. The song begins with a simple drum trill then the bitter-sweet, warped guitar riff comes in. The album was also leaked back in early July, and to many fans surprise Mac declared that it was okay for his fans to download the leaked version because he doesn’t give a “damn” during his set at Pitchfork Music Festival.Ĭoincidentally, the first song to be released was “The Way You’d Love Her” which is the first song on the album. Since the announcement of the album back in April, Mac has since released four out of the eight songs on the mini-LP. Out on August 7th, Another One by Canadian “jizz-jazz” rocker Mac DeMarco tells tales of love, lost-love, and love that was never quite found. It might only contain eight songs, but as well as filling the gap between full-length releases, it’s further proof of his musical genius.Album Cover of Another One on Captured Tracks

Without Me is a touch different for DeMarco plodding synths create an unruly ethereality, making it sound like something you might waltz to at a sci-fi themed ‘80s wedding.Īnother One isDeMarco’s fourth album in as many years.

(For those who missed the story a few weeks ago: final track My House by the Water contains details of DeMarco’s address, and in the lead up to album’s release he invited anyone who listened all the way to the end over for a cuppa.) Given his laid back demeanour, it’s no wonder so many people recently turned up to DeMarco’s New York house for coffee. Take for instance the first single and title track, which is loosely arranged and very easy listening. Throughout Another One, there’s a nod towards the dream-pop stylings of Beach House and the like. It starts with The Way You’d Love Her, which finds DeMarco ruminating, “The river keeps on rolling/ Knowing all the time she’ll never understand just what it means to love her/ The way you’d love her.” This is just some of the dulcet poetry DeMarco unfurls across the release. Similarly, DeMarco’s lyrics continue to lament issues of the heart - in fact the whole mini-LP revolves around love and heartache, but that’s OK. Another One picks up where Salad Days left off, with the same jangly guitars, tight riffs, whacked-out synths and lazy vocal delivery. Mac DeMarco’s latest offering is exactly what you’d expect from the wistful Canadian goofball, and it’s bang on.
