2012年春天，22岁的Mac Demarco发行了他的首张12寸唱片《Rock and Roll Night Club》。紧随其后的是密集的奇奇怪怪搞笑的宣传视频，精神错乱的现场表演和不怎么精致的宣传照。光彩照人的门面只是为了迷惑独立音乐媒体人对音乐刻板的划分。这也不仅仅是为了搞笑，EP里面的确涵盖了很多音乐风格，这是他作为Makeout Videotape前主唱的时候积累下来的成果。真挚和温暖地唱着”Only You”的深情Mac和轻哼“Baby’s Wearing Blue Jeans” 涂着口红的邋遢鬼放在他身上都合适，他的听众也觉得毫无违和感。
6个月之后，Mac带来了第一张全长专辑《2》。和RNRNC不同的是，《2》是Mac发挥他唱作人及制作人天赋的合力之作。有了全新的录音设备，音质得到显著提高，同时绝不委身于任何名号之下，从而保持他音乐的直接和根本的质量。效果非常显著，从温暖的“Cooking Up Something Good”到感人真挚的“My Kind of Woman.”。不管他的视频和现场有多少光怪陆离，他音乐表达还是如此的直接和真诚。“Freaking out the Neighborhood,” 虽然是一首带有歉意的致辞，但这并不表示他排斥这样的公众形象，只不过说明这位顽童到现在还是爱逢场作戏，把大家都拉近麻烦堆里。Mac DeMarco作为录音艺术家的成熟过程还在继续。毕竟，他今年才满23岁。
专辑介绍：
Like the days of Steely Dan, Harry Nilsson or Prince releasing a classic every year (or less) comes Mac DeMarco’s Another One, a mini-LP announced almost one year to the date of the meteorically successful Salad Days. Conceived and recorded entirely by himself in a short period between a relentless tour schedule at his new place in Far Rockaway, Queens, Another One is eight, freshly written songs, expanding the arsenal of Mac’s already impressive catalog. There’s a bittersweet, romantic sensibility present. The overall feeling is lost love, or perhaps love never found, yet Mac embraces this without making it an overly somber experience for the listener. It’s at times haunting and warm, and a bit more refined and sophisticated, but still plenty playful, retaining the guts and soul of classic Mac.
