Mac DeMarco vender tilbage, This Old Dog udkommer 5. maj
Mac DeMarco udsender sit 3. studiealbum den 5. maj 2017. Albummet har fået titlen This Old Dog og efterfølger DeMarco’s sidste album Salad Days fra 2014. Albummet udkommer på Captured Tracks / Playground Music i Skandinavien.
Samtidig med annonceringen af albummet, giver DeMarco et par smagsprøver fra albummet i form af sangene ”My Old Man”, titelnummeret ”This Old Dog” samt kommende turnedatoer.
Mac DeMarco fortæller, at den fysiske omvæltning i hans flytning fra Queens til Los Angeles samt at skulle vænne sig til en anden tilværelse, blev inspirationen for at udvikle de rå skitser til de færdige sange “I demoed a full album, and as I was moving to the West Coast I thought I’d get to finishing it quick. But then I realized that moving to a new city, and starting a new life takes time. Usually I just write, record, and put it out; no problem. But this time, I wrote them and they sat. When that happens, you really get to know the songs. It was a different vibe.”
I modsætning til tidligere, er mange af demoerne til ”This Old Dog” skrevet på akustisk guitar “The majority of this album is acoustic guitar, synthesizer, some drum machine, and one song is electric guitar. So this is a new thing for me.” Og selv om albummet ifølge Mac DeMarco er det mest synth-baserede af hans tre plader, har han forsøgt at skabe en ”unplugged” stemning på pladen ” This is my acoustic album, but it’s not really an acoustic album at all. That’s just what it feels like, mostly. I’m Italian, so I guess this is an Italian rock record.”
