Another One can by no means be called a full-fledged LP, but it is a quasi-LP or a snipped-LP. It is even more amazing that he achieves this effect barely above 20 minutes. Mac DeMarco achieves this feeling every single time. It is just like the fundamental trick of cinema you know that it is not real at all stages, but you keep yourself at a close enough distance not to be engulfed by it completely, but to immerse yourself enough to feel authentic in its atmosphere. However, there is nothing wrong to buy into it. Just his shoulder-snapped, construction worker jumpsuit and his slightly brushed-off hair is a choreographed photography gimmick, his contexts are as well. Songs are not slices of what Mac experienced during some part of his life they are diabolically devised scenarios (maybe) slightly based on what he observed around (diabolic in the sense that it shrewdly deludes us that we are having a sweaty, hammock-driven relaxed time beside a trailer under scorching sun, but it is a stage).Īnother One is another one of those stages. Most of what he sings about is not even existent. He did this with often mellow, lax guitar strums and a totally lying-on-his-back, humming almost nostalgic, but totally belonging-to-this-day words. How much of an identity can one create for himself with a fake name and a thoroughly settled sound? Mac DeMarco is definitely pushing the limits.
