“This relaxed philosophy only enhances the mystique around DeMarco, the Edmonton-raised, now New York-based chain smoker who’s now one of Canada’s biggest indie music exports…”
There are few rock performers as ridiculously prolific as California garage rocker Ty Segall, and even fewer whose quality level is as consistently high…
Future Islands would be a tough act to follow but Canadian singer/guitarist Mac DeMarco’s energy was intense in a different enough way that rewarded fans with a little bit of patience.
Written after a year and a half of non-stop touring, Salad Days is full of DeMarco’s warped-and-surfy guitar lines running parallel to his casually delivered vocals.
No longer a cult band championed by in-the-know indie nerds, Thee Oh Sees have become trendsetters thanks to their ever-broadening sonic language and seemingly tireless work ethic.
He and Segall have been in bands together since high school, back when Segall was primarily a drummer. They’d tried to get a band like FUZZ – far more psych metal than garage rock…
Mikal Cronin and his band took the stage just as the boat returned to dock, so by this point even the most passive of passengers had ambled below deck.
