![]() ![]() His most recent album is called “Another One,” an EP that followed an all-instrumental album called “Some Other Ones.” He has said repeatedly in interviews that his music is intended to be background music for a barbecue. He appears to be flippant about celebrity and his music. Maybe Mac DeMarco is a breath of fresh air because he doesn’t conform to how our favorite artists are supposed to act. Maybe our hipsterized music culture takes itself too seriously. But maybe the problem is with me, not him. Mac doesn’t seem to take himself seriously, let alone his music. Which is why I felt initially conflicted about the music of Mac DeMarco. It sounded like a Smiths song for the 2010s. Maybe it was the guitar effect or the sheer catchiness of the song, but I fell pretty hard for it. (Though I was admittedly charmed by how Mac’s mouth-gaping casualness seems so authentic…check out the side glance he gives at 30 seconds!) Then there’s Andy the guitarist and…who knows what’s going on with his look. Mac looks like he just rolled out of bed and threw on a hat and hoodie to hide the fact. I was further reluctant to like the music because of the look of the band here. I had been hesitant to embrace his music because of the amount of times I had heard his name mentioned in trendy music publications. This video was my first exposure to Mac’s music.
