But if Salad Days left you itching for more, then by all means, indulge yourself.īe sure to catch Mac DeMarco at one of his upcoming tour dates. If you weren’t a fan before, this record is unlikely to sway you. It’s pure, unadulterated DeMarco, from beginning to end. That’s all apparent on standout track Without Me, a personal highlight of the album, that’s dripping with bittersweet sentimentalities, feeling like it’s taken right out of a teenager’s diary: “Will she love me again tomorrow? I don’t think so.” The drums are as tight as ever, the basslines and bold and funky, Mac’s voice is as sweet as ever. His slacker days are starting to seem that they’re a little bit far behind him now, and the pump organ riff that the song is centered on accentuates the more melancholy sounding, wiser lyrics – but at the heart of it, it still feels like a Mac track, and a great one at that. Comparing the beautiful A Heart Like Hers to some of Mac’s earlier work is quite startling. The riff on album opener The Way You’d Love Her dances playfully around your ears. The jingly jangly guitars that Mac is famous for seem much tighter. Sure, it’s a little short and you’d probably prefer to go out for a meal and have a proper catch up, but it leaves a smile on your face the whole day nonetheless. It’s like bumping into a friend at a supermarket.

But they still bring something new to the table. He’s been touring his latest album relentlessly, and only managed to record these songs in his spare time. And he’s not lost those chilled-out sensibilities that make him so lovable, but he’s added a more melancholy edge to this new set of songs. 2014’s Salad Days was a breezy and hypnotic foray into the workings of Mac’s mind. And nowhere is that more clear than on his soon to be released mini-LP Another One. But man, he can make some beautiful sounding songs.
