This Polaris Prize-nominated record largely continues the breezy and easy vibe of 2012’s 2, but with a touch more sophistication and nuance, yielding some of his best songs yet, including the gorgeously grooving “Brother.” DeMarco shows off an impressive evolution here, but without shedding any of his previous releases’ scruffy charm. Salad Days goes down easier than an ice-cold PBR.

$INGLE$ 2 feels, if anything, like a companion to 2011’s Goodbye Bread: fuzzy, sometimes grimy and with riffs that chug along at the perfect speed to be chilled but not lulling. It’s a sweet spot that Segall has hit so well that it makes even a collection of B-sides a decent album.
