While these are far from the best songs on the album, they set the idea that Mac DeMarco had for the album. This gloomy theme starts off right away with “My Old Man” and “This Old Dog”, where Mac softly sings over slowly paced acoustic guitars and light background synths. While slow rhythms, dark lyrics, and droning synths have always been parts of Mac’s music, these are key elements to the entire album, and there is a clear lacking of lighter, fast-pace songs like “Let Her Go” off of ‘Salad Days’ or, “Cooking Up Something Good” off of his debut album ‘2.’
The 42-minute album spans across 13 songs, and sonically reaches a much more somber and melancholy mood than ever heard previously on a DeMarco project. Mac DeMarco, psychedelic indie singer/songwriter and self-described “ape dinky”, released his third full length album “This Old Dog” on May 5 th, 2017.
