Mac DeMarco - '2'

Mac DeMarco2Captured TracksOn his first full-length album, 2, Mac DeMarco’s piercing electric guitar provides an upbeat counterbalance to his deadpan vocals. This is effective in producing sunny melodies despite his descriptions of mundane or even dreary circumstances. In the first album, he proved capable of bringing a psychedelic, ethereal quality to his music, which he brings forth in this album in tracks like “Dreamin’.” With his psychedelic electric guitar solos, somber vocals, and crazy antics (making out with an audience member who he pulled on stage at his show), Mac DeMarco is a new artist worthy of some attention. —Lauren Levitt[soundcloud url="http://api.soundcloud.com/tracks/62188129" params="" width=" 100%" height="166" iframe="true" /]
