“I demoed a full album, and as I was moving to the West Coast I thought I’d get to finishing it quick. Arriving in California with a grip of demos he’d written in New York, he realized after a few months of setting up his new shop–complete with a few new toys–that the gap was giving him perspective (insert tooth joke here). Moving from his isolated Queens home to a house in Los Angeles helped give the somewhat transient Canada-native a broader base, and a few more months on his calendar to create did their job as well. Though used to and pretty happy with that annual grind, it was a little space–in time, location, and method–that inspired DeMarco while making the record. To stay gold, turns out all he needed was some new tricks. But in working-dog years, ol’ Mac here could easily qualify for social security.
According to the DMV, MacBriare Samuel Lanyon DeMarco is 26. 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. Recorded at Jizz Jazz Studios, Brooklyn, NY in October 2013.Before you ancients out there turn your heads and scoff at the premise of a twenty-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. Track 9 has elements of Shigeo Sekito's track "The Word 2" from Special Sound Series Vol. Includes Salad Days with insert featuring interview with Mac DeMarco and lyrics in Japanese, obi strip, and cardboard slipcase, all in a resealable mylar sleeve.
