…DeMarco is hardly the first artist in recent years to bear the mark of an infatuation with My Bloody Valentine, but rather than going for straightforward distortion-laden pastiche, he applies their pitch-bending sound to music…
Being pegged as class clown on his previous solo outings… likely shaped the mind state in which we find DeMarco here. Without the attention-grabbing antics, his core sound hasn’t changed much.
Fear not though, DeMarco still puts the cool back in the cigarette, happily manipulates his old beat up guitar through seemingly effortless valleys of picking and plucking, and grounds us all with his unpretentious prose.
Mikal Cronin, the Bay Area scuzz-rocker who recently contributed to the new Thee Oh Sees album and released his second album, MCII, last year, is releasing a single titled “Soul In Motion” as the A-side of the LAMC 7″.
If you’ve been keeping up with Mikal Cronin’s discography, you’ll be quick to note that on the A-side of his new LAMC single (out April 1 via Famous Class), some less-than-familiar elements crop up.
The upcoming split seven-inch kicks off with a new Mikal Cronin song called “Soul in Motion.” Opening with an anachronistic drum machine loop, the track manages to feel akin to the dulcet fuzzbombs found on Cronin’s Essential MCII…
Mac DeMarco and Sharon Van Etten lead the list of new additions for Gothenburg, Sweden’s Way Out West Festival.
DeMarco isn’t a greenhorn – he’s been recording and releasing raunchy rock ‘n’ roll for five years, first under the great pseudonym Makeout Videotape, and now simply as himself. Salad Days is his third release for Captured Tracks…
Recorded at Jizz Jazz studio, Salad Days finds DeMarco returning to the AM warble and warped guitars that made his previous records such a success, while delving into deeper sonic and lyrical territories with vintage keyboards…
Complètement barré, bien fêlé et extrêmement drôle en plus d’être un songwriter hors pair, Mac Demarco cumule les bons points et l’on voit l’engouement grandir avec raison ces derniers temps.
Jovial sleaze-pop solo artist Mac DeMarco may only be 23 years old, but over time he’s slowly become one of the defining voices of his generation, thanks to his 2012 debut Rock and Roll Nightclub and its subsequent follow-up, 2.
On his ever-so-aptly titled third studio LP Salad Days, Mac DeMarco has tossed away his adolescence like an old crummy pack of viceroy cigarettes.
Gap-toothed charmer Mac DeMarco is streaming his new album ‘Salad Days’ in full ahead of its 31st March (UK) and 1st April (US) release on Captured Tracks.
Canadian slacker-rock musician Mac DeMarco is airing his new album online. Following on from 2012′s breakthrough LP, 2, this new effort Salad Days will drop on Captured Tracks next week.
Músico canadense mostra um pouco de como será o novo disco, Salad Days, que é previsto para chegar às lojas em 2014. A faixa-título mostra que ele seguirá por uma sonoridade similar ao álbum 2.
When I caught Ty Segall at FYF Fest last summer in LA, he was touring behind 2013’s folky Sleeper, and his set was appropriately seated and subdued. When he hit Vegas two months later, he got heavy and hypnotic, with psych-rock trio Fuzz.
With his new album Salad Days dropping 31 March, Mac’s been a busy dude. And while we think he appreciated us breaking the monotony of the press grind with these silly questions, he seemed a little miffed that we’d woken him up at 11am.
DeMarco’s lovable jackassery has helped make him a kind of brohemian hero, but it’s his talents as a songwriter that have sustained the love. Sometimes sleazy, always sincere, his songs have a kind of slacker-stealth to them…
Thee Oh Sees have released an animated video for “The Lens”, a recent track from the forthcoming record Drop, which comes out April 19 via John Dwyer’s Castle Face imprint.
Thee Oh Sees take us on an intergalactic animated psych-out in their music video for “The Lens”, a song off their forthcoming full-length Drop due out next month.
A primal scream plunged the crowd into mass hysteria. In anticipation, the swirling maelstrom of bodies flailed back and forth, as the sea of sweaty concertgoers surged forward and headliner Ty Segall broke into the chorus of “Finger.”
Ty Segall thrashes around stage left, furiously wringing a solo out of a squall of reverberating amp feedback before popping up, almost athletically, behind the mic to coo whatever it is he’s been cooing.
Oddments is ripe with multilayered, kaleidoscopic sounds, thanks to a myriad of instruments and the adroit musicians that sculpt the vibe. KGATLW masters chaotic arrangements while managing to sound like a collection of bands on each track.
y Segall, the garage rocker who never sleeps, plays High Mayhem (2811 Siler Lane) at 8 p.m. on Tuesday, March 18 (doors open at 7:30 p.m.). Segall, who is 26, has already put out a career’s worth of punk…
Ty Segall is not one to sit and wait. In fact, the musician has so many projects, it’s difficult to manage at times. Despite that, Segall was able to release two projects – “Gemini” and “Sleeper” – in 2013.
Salad Days, the upcoming full length album from Mac Demarco, is now available over at Captured Tracks. You can pick it up in the standard edition, which features the album on either black vinyl or cassette tape…
And since Segall’s 2013 full-length Sleeper proved he was a keeper even sans protometal Fuzz, we’re optimistically hopeful he won’t deny us a bit of libidinous distortion.
…Mac DeMarco is back today to share the album’s second single. Whereas Salad Days as a whole is a more serious, contemplative affair than his previous releases, “Brother” finds Mac more sincere than we’ve seen him to date.
The juggernaut that is King Gizzard And The Lizard Wizard has been steadily gathering steam for a while now and their fourth album, Oddments, is hands down their best record yet.
Mac was born in Duncan, BC, but did most of his growing up in Edmonton, AB. Before any aspirations to become a musician, he was really into computers in his pre-pubescent years — in a big, nerdy way.
