The majority of this album is acoustic guitar, synthesizer, some drum machine, and one song is electric guitar.
Following the release of Another One, DeMarco moved from his isolated Queens home to a house in Los Angeles to create the album.
#MAC DEMARCO THIS OLD DOG ALBUM ARTIST MAC#
The Canadian singer-songwriter Mac DeMarco has long enjoyed a reputation as a goofy man-child grotesque, a poster boy for unkempt slacker indie-rock, always ready with an off-kilter aside or fart prank. Third full-length studio album by singer-songwriter and multi-instrumentalist Mac DeMarco, released on through Captured Tracks. I usually demo on a drum machine and then record real drums, but I liked that machine so much I kept it on the album. Mac DeMarco is just turning 27, but his new album, This Old Dog, seems to represent a more mature persona than hes projected in the past.Originally from Edmonton, Alberta, DeMarco has always been. Mac DeMarco is back with a new record, and it’s a more polished affair to get really excited about. "It's on the album a lot, maybe four or five songs. "That thing helped a ton, especially for demoing," he says. He also attributes some of the delay to his exploration of new gear he'd purchased, specifically a CR-78 drum machine, which he used while writing and can be heard on his album tracks for the first time ever. DeMarco wrote some demos for This Old Dog on an acoustic guitar, an unusual yet eye-opening method for him. To stay gold, turns out all he needed was some new tricks. But in working-dog years, he could easily qualify for social security. The fresh meat you're now feasting on, This Old Dog, makes for his fifth in just over half a decade - bringing the total to 3 LPs and 2 EPs. Before you ancients out there turn your heads and scoff at the premise of a 20-something rock-and-roll goofball calling himself an old-anything, consider this: said perpetrator, he who answers to the name Mac DeMarco, has spent the better part of his time thus far writing, recording, and releasing an album of his own music pretty much every calendar flip, and pretty much on his own.
