This latest album has the esteemed title of This Old Dog, however a more fitting title for the record would be Another Side of Mac DeMarco, as we see Mac leaving behind his trademark dissonant electric guitar for softer, more acoustic tones and a more laid-back, lullaby-like form of song-writing. Modern day slacker icon Mac DeMarco is ready to grace us with a full-length record once more, following 2015’s mini-LP Another One.
