This results in the smooth, extra laid-back, somewhat nostalgic music of This Old Dog. Without the extra clutter, Demarco’s exemplary songwriting and musical talent take the spotlight.ĭemarco is fully embracing his older, more mature side that we first got a taste of on his watery, relaxed previous project, Another One. This album is much more simple, minimalist, and clear than his previous projects. While his style is more dominant on this album than ever, it seems that both Demarco and his music have grown out and matured. This Old Dog comes with a change of pace from Demarco. Mac Demarco isn’t someone who will take anything very seriously. Watch any of his older music videos to understand.

Mac has an odd sense of humor that often comes through his music. Mac Demarco’s music is generally defined as soft rock, but also “slacker rock,” blue wave, folk rock, or what he calls “jizz jazz.” Basically, hipster music. Look up his first television appearance on The Eric Andre Show if you want to know what I mean, however, I have to warn you that you will not be able to un-see it. Yes, I think it’s good to be weird, but this guy is really out there. You know, before it was cool, because I’m a hipster and I have no friends, but that’s a story for another time. I guess I kind of just described myself, but I’ve been a fan for years now. Artsy Tumblr teens with cuffed jeans, vintage windbreakers, dirty Vans, and ironic thrift-store hats. His newer fans have become a meme in a sense. Since his last project, the 2015 mini-album Another One, or his last full length, 2014’s Salad Days, Mac Demarco has seen his popularity increase immensely.
