Mac Demarco (current Discography)



While at first listen there may not be anything incredibly novel about the songs that Mac Demarco puts out, I encourage you to give it a listen, and then revisit it again. Then tell me if that jangly reverb guitar sound doesn’t stick in your head.  That jangly off-pitch guitar sound, sounds like they recorded the guitars on vinyl, and then let it get slightly warped, and then used that as a backdrop to sing over.  And once it gets in your head, it just reverbs around in there, and you can’t get it out! The songs are overall simple, but catchy.  



I saw in an interview that he wrote up the entirety of Rock n Roll Night Club as kind of a joke, and then got a record deal out of it. The album is pretty consistent from start to finish, except it is interspersed with some filler radio-banter, which only serves to add to the weird vibe.

I can’t help but draw comparisons to David Bowie when I listen to this album. The title track sounds just like Bowie.  And Baby’s Wearing Blue Jeans is like Bowie’s Blue Jeans, redux.

This album is where that jangly sound will get ya. Definitely has that bizarre can’t-put-my-finger-on-it throwback weirdness possessed by Ariel Pink’s Haunted Graffiti. Definitely some similarities there.

I like a lot of the tracks on this one:
I was going to list the tracks I like here…..but then I realized I like all of them. Listen to it!  And then listen to  it again!

The Heavy - Glorious Dead




Soulful, brassy, good!

This album is pretty damn awesome with a few duds. Overall a great find!

The Lonesome Road has a Tom Waits kind of gritty swagger.
