Exclaim pots Mac DeMarco’s world tour dates
…along with a handful of dates in Canada. It’s not a Canadian tour proper, but Mac and his merry band will return to Quebec in April for shows in Wakefield, Sherbrooke and Montreal.
…along with a handful of dates in Canada. It’s not a Canadian tour proper, but Mac and his merry band will return to Quebec in April for shows in Wakefield, Sherbrooke and Montreal.
Backstage at the event, Under the Radar caught up with Mac DeMarco and Beach Fossils’ Dustin Payseur, two acts who have certainly defined the label.
For everyone else, the beer-swilling, chain-smoking troubadour has just announced a tour of North America and Europe with a couple of South American dates thrown in.
The latest installment features Fuzz doing a Kinks cover, and for the B-side, they’ve tapped their former tourmates, the San Francisco sludge punks CCR Headcleaner.
Canadian singer-songwriter Mac DeMarco has a new album called Salad Days, the follow-up to 2012′s breakthrough 2, coming in April on Captured Tracks. DeMarco stopped by Edmonton’s CKUA to perform an acoustic set…
No, the new Mac DeMarco album isn’t a pussy-obsessed record called Eddie’s Dream. He told Edmonton radio station CKUA that it’s called Salad Days, and it’s out in April. He also performed acoustic renditions of new songs.
Titled Oddments, the new album is due to drop in February, following swiftly on from the September 2013 release of the psychedelically tinged but garage-in-spirit

Good news: Mac DeMarco has revealed he’s got a new album coming, marking the occasion by streaming this tongue-in-cheek new clip.
Ty Segall makes another superlative bedroom record, a collection of bummed-out midtempo tunes and raw ballads that channels John Lennon at his most melancholy and soulful.
Now a second batch of bands have been added to the 10th Birthday guest list, the biggest new name on the Gum Ball 2014 roll-call being the might King Gizzard And The Lizard Wizard.

Dwyer has a new solo project that he’s calling Damaged Bug, and he’ll release an album called Hubba Bubba under that name in just a few weeks. First single “Eggs At Night” sounds absolutely nothing like any incarnation of Thee Oh Sees…
Yet with the 2013 release of his second album, “MCII,” Cronin finally may be escaping the shadows of his peers. The lauded release, which graced Rolling Stone’s year-end best-of list and a litany of indie-rock blogs…
The 90-minute show was a homecoming for the 27-year-old Furman.
…while King Gizzard & The Lizard Wizard plays adjacent on the O’Donnell Gardens Stage and Bob Evans takes on the Alfred Square Stage.
Known for his work in driving the revival and garage and guitar work, the prolific Ty Segall’s Sleeper is a deeply personal record written after he was estranged from his mother in the wake of his father’s death.
Spin Managing Editor Nicole Sia placed MCII on her list of top albums of 2013 and called Cronin “the best pop star in the biz today.” That’s a huge title for the 27-year-old to live up to, and so far, he seems up to the challenge.
Mac DeMarco has road rage. Less than one minute after we hop in the Dodge minivan he uses as a tour van, he is flipping the bird to the big dude behind the wheel of the automobile he just cut off.
Sleeper, Segall’s sole major release of 2013 after a series of personal losses, eschews his signature fuzz guitar for a mostly unplugged affair, and the newly acoustic warrior’s embrace…
In a May cover story, we declared Mikal Cronin the best rock songwriter in San Francisco, based on the strength of his first album for the titan indie label Merge. Now that it’s December, we have no regrets.
For Floating Coffin, Dwyer involved the other band members in the songwriting like he hadn’t in a long time, and the result is a vicious, grin-inducing document of fuzz-guitar brutality and seductive, boundless grooves.
When it came to quality power pop in 2013, pardon the pun but there was nobody better than Ezra Furman.
Mikal Cronin makes the creation of strummy, jangly, shout-along songs seem as easy and natural as opening a window and letting the breeze whip past your steering wheel.
MCII finds Cronin as a twenty-something in existential crisis, confronting the transition — and associated questions and adjustments — from youth to adulthood.
Per his m.o., psych/garage journeyman Ty Segall stayed busy in 2013. In addition to relocating from San Francisco Los Angeles, Segall recorded and performed with two disparate projects this year.
Sleeper makes it more obvious that, while Segall remains really good at yelling, he doesn’t have to do it forever if he doesn’t want to.
John Dwyer and co. do not stop. Loose and heavy, Floating Coffin finds the Bay Area vets burning through the darkness. Riffs abound, and while you might show up for the shred, it’s the intermittent levity that holds it all together
One of, if not the best reel-in from US indie label Captured Tracks is the enigmatic jovial prankster of Montreal, Mac DeMarco.
Despite being generally averse to the spotlight, Cronin stole the show with his irreverent flair for dramatics. A bare minimum of his time was spent crooning to the mic, whimpering soft verses or bellowing jubilant choruses.
