Cleveland Scene reviews Mac DeMarco’s show at Beachland Ballroom
While everything Mac DeMarco played was recognizable, nothing sounded as simple or pure as the album versions. He played most of the songs faster and they sounded weirder..

“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.
A Q & A with Mac DeMarco. Find out where he got the album name Salad Days
…DeMarco is embracing the future with more than a little hesitation. But in his own unique way, Mac DeMarco helps us remember that time and time again, the kids pull through, however unorthodox their methods may be.
So while some find his behavior repugnant, others are enthralled with his youthful abandon; either way, within the often faceless world of modern guitar rock, DeMarco demands attention by not giving a fuck.
Selon ce dernier, d’étranges rumeurs égrènent l’existence de Mac DeMarco. Il prend pour exemple celle qui l’envoie dormir nu dans un sac poubelle, tartiné de Vaseline dans le but de collecter des billes de sueur pure pour un radical exercice d’hydratation.
Canadian down-‘n’-outer Mac DeMarco is one of the most gifted modern songwriters going. Expect new album ‘Salad Days’ to reinforce that reputation.
California’s Thee OhSees’ new album ‘Drop’ will, err, drop on April 19. Expect musical colours every bit as vibrant and psychedelic as the record’s cartoon sleeve.
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”…
With a return to the main Ty Segall Band lineup featuring Mikal Cronin on guitar, Charlie Moonhart on bass, and Emily Rose Epstein on drums, the band played in full electric glory. The set pulled from multiple albums…
…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.
