This Old Dog [VINYL]

Product Information

In fact, depending on where you live and the ship date, you may not get the album until after its official release date. Last year's 'Another One' had him a little more measured and melancholy and certainly the first two tracks teased from this have a similar hushed vibe but with that twanging jangling guitar and warm mid fi pop sound intact. 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. 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.

Using my usual AT-VM95ML microline stylus brought out the worst, when I switched to my backup Ortofon 2M I can barely hear the issues, just a slight crackle from time to time.

Everything I have that was cut by Josh Bonati sounds really good, I think this man needs a bit more recognition around these parts for his mastering work.In “Moonlight on the River,” Mac DeMarco talks about his dad who abandoned him and his Mom because he was an addict and an alcoholic. These recordings give an intimate view into the world of Mac DeMarco, taking listeners back to the roots of Mac’s writing and recording straight from his own bedroom ‘Jizz-Jazz’ studios. The songs on 'This Old Dog' go way beyond - focusing on his relationships with family and friends, they're in equal parts mature, affecting and memorable in their melodic sleight-of-hand. 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.

Every record is shipped in original factory-applied shrink wrap and has never been touched by human hands. 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). Over the past few years we have watched Mac develop from a cult artist to a standout figure amongst the realm of the indie mainstream. Seconding all the comments about the noisy vinyl - but despite the meh pressing quality this thing sounds amazing! It’s some of his best music yet -- a reminder that casual people are capable of moving forward, instead of sticking in the same place.

Secondary copies sent out will be opened and inspected before being re-shipped to guarantee a non defective replacement. It was a little space - in time, location and method - that inspired DeMarco while making his latest record. To calculate the overall star rating and percentage breakdown by star, we don’t use a simple average. Here he comes again, wearer of North America's filthiest dungarees, that gap toothed smile presumably still intact.
