Before you ancients out there turn your heads and scoff at the premise of a 20-something rock-and-roll goofball calling himself an old-anything, consider this: said perpetrator, he who answers to the name Mac DeMarco, has spent the better part of his time thus far writing, recording, and releasing an album of his own music pretty much every calendar flip, and pretty much on his own. The fresh meat you're now feasting on, This Old Dog, makes for his fifth in just over half a decade - bringing the total to 3 LPs and 2 EPs. According to the DMV, Mac is 26. But in working-dog years, he could easily qualify for social security. To stay gold, turns out all he needed was some new tricks. DeMarco wrote some demos for This Old Dog on an acoustic guitar, an unusual yet eye-opening method for him. He also attributes some of the delay to his exploration of new gear he'd purchased, specifically a CR-78 drum machine, which he used while writing and can be heard on his album tracks for the first time ever. "That thing helped a ton, especially for demoing," he says. "It's on the album a lot, maybe four or five songs. I usually demo on a drum machine and then record real drums, but I liked that machine so much I kept it on the album. The majority of this album is acoustic guitar, synthesizer, some drum machine, and one song is electric guitar. So this is a new endeavor for me." Review: Mac's Best Work! - This is my favorite Mac DeMarco album of all time. Soothing, fun, easy-going music with just enough creepiness to tie it all together. Nix the couple of profanities, it's been a great album for my infant son--he loves it! The record runs well on the table and the cover isn't over the top. Highly Recommend! Review: High quality CD - This CD is simple but well made. The packaging is sturdy, and the audio quality is clear and crisp. It’s nice to have a physical copy, and the CD feels high quality overall. Good for any MacDemarco fans

Great album if you like slow music you can vibe to.
I don't know how to explain his music but there's something fun and playful about it even though a lot of the songs have a melancholy tone to them. It's light-hearted but powerful at the same time. It's just a great album start to finish. I haven't heard anything like this before. Mac clearly has a lot of 70's 80's rock and jazz influences. but nothing on here sounds old or dated. As for the physical product, mine is in fine condition. It's packaged booklet style but there's only one disc which is nice. I hate double LP's. Other than that, it's a pretty normal record. My favourite songs are my old man, one more love song, sister, and for the first time.
