03/mac demarco/this old dog
In the summer of 2015 Mac Demarco dropped his Another One EP. As the final song fades to black and the curtain starts to fall, Mac drops his real address, inviting you the listener to come over and have a cup of coffee sometime. The move was an incredibly warm and open gesture that was not a stunt, and this year he hit us up once again to replicate that feeling of being alone and candid with him over a cup of joe with his beautifully understated third LP This Old Dog. Sitting with us, Mac is reflective and looking inward while conversing with us, asking that we "don't let the world outside the windowpane get to your head, and hopefully make some sense of all this shit before you're dead", as he attempts to do in front of us here. With these attempts at maintaining a peace of mind comes a more crisp sound and production, amplifying the acoustic folk and light jazz rock tableau underlining Mac's contemplations. Turns out not every dog has his day, and on This Old Dog, Mac works through the motions to keep this from becoming a common occurrence.
