That New Mac DeMarco Tune

I will openly admit that I have probably spent an inordinate amount of time complaining about how Mac DeMarco was the new Dave Matthews; he was responsible for many a copycat, and many a cover at house shows/coffee shops! Still, I did appreciate a good portion of his work, but I feel like yesterday’s single is actually one of his best pieces, reveling in its simplicity and charm. It almost sounds like something Bolan or Johnston would have pulled up, with this intimacy being worn on the sleeve, with little less needed as the attraction is just masterclass. Didn’t expect to find myself loving this as much as I do, so now I have a feeling that I’ll definitely be spending time with Mac’s new LP, Guitar, which comes out on August 22nd.
