| Before you ancients out there turn your heads and scoff at the |
| premise of a twenty-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 youÆre now feasting on, This Old Dog, makes |
| for his fifth in just over half a decadeùbringing the total to 3 |
| LPs and 2 EPs. According to the DMV, MacBriare Samuel Lanyon |
| DeMarco is 26. But in working-dog years, olÆ Mac here could easily |
| qualify for social security. To stay gold, turns out all he needed |
| was some new tricks. |
| |
| Though used to and pretty happy with that annual grind, it was a |
| little spaceùin time, location, and methodùthat inspired DeMarco |
| while making the record. Moving from his isolated Queens home to a |
| house in Los Angeles helped give the somewhat transient |
| Canada-native a broader base, and a few more months on his |
| calendar to create did their job as well. Arriving in California |
| with a grip of demos heÆd written in New York, he realized after a |
| few months of setting up his new shopùcomplete with a few new |
| toysùthat the gap was giving him perspective (insert tooth joke |
| here). |
| |
| ôThis one was spaced out,ö DeMarco says. ôI demoed a full album, |
| and as I was moving to the West Coast I thought IÆd get to |
| finishing it quick. But then I realized that moving to a new city |
| and starting a new life takes time. And it was weird, because |
| 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.ö |
| |
| 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 heÆd 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. ôThat |
| thing helped a ton, especially for demoing,ö he says. ôItÆs 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.ö |
| |
| And right off the bat, from the pops and clicks of the CR-78 and |
| acoustic strums on the album-opening ôMy Old Man,ö the |
| synth-drenched beauty of the second track, ôThis Old Dog,ö and |
| that ironic recurring word itself, itÆs clear that DeMarcoÆs bag |
| is filled with new tricks indeed. This Old Dog is rooted more in a |
| synth-base than any of his previous releases, but he is careful |
| not to let that tactic overshadow the other instruments and |
| overall ôunpluggedö mood of the work. In fact, DeMarco recognizes |
| that he might share more than just a geographical flight-path with |
| a certain Canadian-cum-Californian songwriter. |
| |
| ôI think what I was trying to do is make Harvest with |
| synthesizers,ö he laughs. ôBut I donÆt think I even came close to |
| the markùsomething else entirely came out. This is my acoustic |
| album, but itÆs not really an acoustic album at all. ThatÆs just |
| what it feels like, mostly. IÆm Italian, so I guess this is an |
| Italian rock record.ö |
| |
| Speaking of roots, while itÆs known that DeMarcoÆs family history |
| is complicated at best, the songs here may be the closest glimpse |
| into his personal life and relationships with his kin heÆs ever |
| allowed. But then again, they may not be. Only one thing is |
| certain: the titular mutt, naturally, is DeMarco himself, and as |
| he brings us into his world, he makes sure itÆs from his own |
| hard-earned vantage point and measured post. |
| |
| ôThis record has a lot to do with my family and my life right now |
| and the way IÆm feeling and stuff,ö he says. ôOne of the main |
| goals for this record was trying to make sure I retained some kind |
| of realness. ThatÆs the bottom line. Being in any sort of |
| spotlight can be jarring, especially when youÆre not preoccupied |
| with touring and youÆre just sitting in your house writing songs. |
| But wherever my bedroom is, the records are gonna be whatever is |
| happening in there. I could be in Alaska and IÆm sure it wouldnÆt |
| change things much.ö |
| |
| Despite the changes considered during the creation of This Old |
| Dog, Mac DeMarcoÆs mid-twenties masterpiece, itÆs clear that the |
| engine that motors him is in no danger of slowing down. |
| |
| ôAs long as I feel real then thereÆs nothing else that matters,ö |
| he says. ôMaking these albums is just something that I have to do, |
| and so I do it.ö |
