His debut full-length, 2, released on Brooklyn’s Captured Tracks, brought to life his breakout cigarette anthem, “ Ode to Viceroy”, and helped him establish a steady following. Another One also arrives at the height of DeMarco’s cumulative fame from his first two records. At the height of this popularity, DeMarco will surely break into the mainstream in the coming months. Many would argue he has already. ![]() As UV rays are slowly seeping into the collective skin of festival-heads, DeMarco has slowly been exposing Another One under the sun. “Another One” documents relationship regrets and bittersweet memories - a revelatory beginning, a jealous breakup and acceptance in the end - and the effect is a feeling that you’re sitting DeMarco’s beach house having a chat.Mac DeMarco’s new “mini LP”, Another One, couldn’t arrive at a more ideal time. ![]() And with less studio fuss than there was on “Salad Days,” it all sounds easy and intimate, and fittingly so. “Just to Put Me Down” is hypnotically repetitive, shifting but never really evolving, and “No Other Heart” has the sway of ‘60s pop with a touch of ‘70s haze. “The Way You’d Love Her” is tipsy and dizzying thanks to heavy use of slide and something slightly off balance in the pacing.
