“Salad Days” is the second full-length album from Mac DeMarco, and it sounds like the 23-year-old is grappling with growing up. The image of DeMarco is almost at odds with his music.
The two songs we’ve heard from Thee Oh Sees’ forthcoming Drop spanned a vast aesthetic distance; “Penetrating Eye” was a gnarly unhinged riff monster, while “The Lens” was a subdued and pretty psych ballad.
“The Lens” is the latest video from Thee Oh Sees. The song is the last track on their new LP, Drop, which is out April 19. Fun fact: The album was recorded in a banana-ripening warehouse. Check out the clip for “The Lens” below.
And if these are indeed his so-called Salad Days, then having produced something that is so completely seductive in its own insouciant, laid-back way, long may they continue.
King Gizzard & The Lizard Wizard’s freakadelic opus is a tunnelling cosmic jam that pushes out past the 15-minute mark, and it has certainly become the Surf Coast group’s emphatic trump card.

Mac DeMarco might be the wild and crazy showman on stage, but Salad Days shows there’s plenty of tenderness behind that shit-eating, gap-toothed grin.
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.
Thee Oh Sees are still not off their indefinite hiatus yet. Though San Francisco’s sweethearts may be on a long-deserved break, that doesn’t mean they haven’t been productive. Case in point: their new video for “The Lens”…
