![]() Album opener and previously released single, “ My Old Man” taps into an anxiety I feel myself and most other 20 somethings can certainly relate to.ĭeMarco sings: “ look in the mirror, what you see? Someone familiar but surely not me”, and in doing so immediately confronts the worrying idea that as time passes, those parental characteristics we all strived against when we were younger, are now beginning to transfer onto ourselves. This heightened perspective is clear from the off. It seems this change in scene, and the time taken to settle into his new home allowed for a new perspective on things to form, as well as the time to really get to know the songs intended for the record. ![]() He moved from Queens to Los Angeles with a bunch of demos for the album still unfinished. The depth of each and every song on this album (his first full length record since 2014’s Salad Days), could perhaps have something to do with DeMarco’s recent change in lifestyle. In This Old Dog, Mac DeMarco, offers a number of stripped back tracks which allow his lyrical sensitivity and creativity to take centre stage. However his minimalistic use of instrumentation signifies a shift in perspective towards the 26 year old’s production style. ![]() The record retains DeMarco’s characteristic song writing style. On May 5, Mac DeMarco released This Old Dog a collection of 13, highly personal, acoustically driven tracks, all of which are masterpieces in their own right.
