Product description

Mac DeMarco (A.K.A. 26-year old MacBriare Samuel Lanyon DeMarco) will release This Old Dog, his third album and first full-length since 2014’s Salad Days, on May 5th 2017 worldwide via Captured Tracks. In conjunction with today’s album announcement, DeMarco is announcing a North American tour and sharing two lead singles - “My Old Man” and “This Old Dog.” They are the album’s openers and right off the bat, they show a new sonic direction and a glimpse into the very personal nature of this record.

It was a little space—in time, location (he moved from Queens to Los Angeles), and method—that inspired DeMarco while making This Old Dog. Arriving in California with a grip of demos he’d written in New York, he realized after a few months of setting up his new shop that the gap was giving him perspective. DeMarco says, “I demoed a full album, and as I was moving to the West Coast I thought I’d get to finishing it quickly. But then I realized that moving to a new city, and starting a new life takes time. Usually I just write, record, and put it out; no problem. But this time, I wrote them and they sat. When that happens, you really get to know the songs. It was a different vibe.”

DeMarco wrote some demos for This Old Dog on an acoustic guitar, an eye-opening method for him. “The majority of this album is acoustic guitar, synthesizer, some drum machine, and one song is electric guitar. So this is a new thing for me.”

And right from the offset, from the pops and clicks of the CR-78 and acoustic strums on the album-opening “My Old Man,” and the synth-drenched beauty of the second track, “This Old Dog,” it’s clear that DeMarco’s bag is filled with new tricks indeed. This Old Dog is rooted more in a synth-base than any of his previous releases, but he is careful not to let that tactic overshadow the other instruments and overall “unplugged” mood of the work. “This is my acoustic album, but it’s not really an acoustic album at all. That’s just what it feels like, mostly. I’m Italian, so I guess this is an Italian rock record.”

    5.0 out of 5 stars Beautiful album
    Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 12 August 2017

    Recently I've been wanting to find a new artist to listen to, and I must say I am not disappointed with Mac DeMarco. "This Old Dog" is a gorgeous album full of melodic songs, which are deep, emotional and can be raw in places. My favourite songs are "This Old Dog" "On The Level" and "Moonlight On The River" which is slow and dreamy to start with but then finishes with Mac adding guitar effects and reverb, which actually works well!! It is known that a lot of hardcore fans fined this album boring and too slow, and not anything similar to "Salad Days" and "2" (which are also excellent). Let me just say this Mac DeMarco is a artist that hopefully (I use that term loosely!) evolves from each album he produces and his creativity just escalates. Mac will probably be one of those artists that has little recognition in the music industry (like Beck) but that's just the way life is! So if you fancy listening to some thing new and original, check Mac out! If not.....stick with Ed Sheeran.

    Mac likes to come across as chilled out, but there's a lot of emotional turmoil on the album about not achieving dreams, relationship troubles and fears of death and loosing loves charm. Lots of new synths featured and some of his finest production work. EXCELENTE. #CincoDeMarco

    Mac's new album sees a more mature outlook on things, dealing with a lot of family issues and issues of happiness/sadness. 10/10 in my opinion, I put it on when I want to relax.

    So chilled and beautifully constructed. I can't listen to the album without tapping my feet or some other appendage. Great from start to finish with no filler IMHO.

    I read a lot of Mac DeMarco and his music. But the music did not reach me listining iT on spotify. But recentely i got this record. And I think iT is marvelous. Great songwriting, Words and his voice maken the songs Unique. Not a 5 star review because at the end, the last song, he lost me.
