Bird On The Wire

Like in the days of Steely Dan, Harry Nilsson or Prince releasing a classic every year (or sooner) comes Mac DeMarco’s Another One, a mini-LP announced almost one year to the date of the meteorically successful Salad Days. Conceived and recorded entirely by Mac himself in a short period between a relentless tour schedule at his new place in Far Rockaway, Queens, Another One is eight freshly written songs, expanding the arsenal of Mac’s already impressive catalogue.

There’s a bittersweet, romantic sensibility at work here. The overall feeling is of lost love, or perhaps love never found, yet Mac embraces this without making it an overly somber experience for the listener. It’s at times haunting and warm, and a bit more refined and sophisticated, but still plenty playful, retaining the guts and soul of classic Mac.

With two full-length albums and two EPs released and hundreds of sold out shows performed in the last several years, a recent late night television debut on Conan following a special guest performance on The Eric Andre Show, Mac will be returning to the UK this September for a pair of special nights at the Roundhouse as part of a headline tour.
