Stock up on your smokes and get ready to brew up a fresh pot of coffee because every hipster’s favorite Canadian dork is welcoming us back into his world via his new mini LP titled Another One. If Salad Days was a full course meal, this is the dessert to hold us over until his next release.
The opening track “The Way You’d Love Her” will immediately sent waves of comfort and relaxation throughout the body. Forget all of the stress encompassing your life. Forget how much of a jerk your boss is. Forget about how massively in debt your college loans have made you. Mac wants you to kick off your shoes, relax and be serenaded by his twinkly guitar-work.
Another One may feel like more of the same if you are familiar with Mr. Demarco’s discography, but such is implied in the title. The addition of synthesizers brings depth of sincerity to the straightforward and simplistic writing style the cigarette-obsessed gap-tooth charismatic has become known for over the past couple of years.
“My House by the Water” concludes the mini LP with the sounds of synth, lapsing waves, and a blunt invitation to hang out with him at his house reinforcing the theme of comfort and relaxation. If you are looking for relaxing, twinkly jangle pop laced with positive vibes along the likes of Kurt Vile, give Another One a shot.
