these things can mean a specific thing to me but to everybody else.” Especially with love songs, too, it's like. I felt, not weird, but I did that and this time around I was like, I can write personal songs for me but they don't necessarily have to have like a cement story behind them. “In a way, it is autobiographical but at the same time I think the last album, 'Salad Days', that album was really like, kind of personal. The material, he explains, is partly rooted in his own circumstances but also reflects a desire to write something universal. But I did feel like writing some songs, so I wrote some love songs and made a little summer treat for everybody.” It feels like a thing on its own but at the same time it is only seven songs and an instrumental. I wrote it all in a week and a half and then recorded it like a week afterwards.

Somewhere between an EP and a full album, there's a coherency to the project which is utterly unhurried. It gets to come out quicker than if I had, like, the real run up for a full length or whatever.”Īrising from lengthy sessions in his home studio, 'Another One' feels extremely natural. But it's nice, it's faster than an album. The guy that runs my record label is like a real vinyl nut, so he's like: yeah, let's try this! So this is an EP, really.

The singer has just released new mini-album 'Another One', a series of loved up indie vignettes delivered in that trademark drawl.

Great songwriters don't need to reinvent themselves they just need to keep going and let the songs out in the world.
With two full-lengths and two EPs released and hundreds of sold out shows performed in the last several years, a recent late night television debut on Conan following a special performance on The Eric Andre Show, it seems, as Mac nears his 25th birthday, there's not a slack bone in the man's body. Ľespite working at the same pace as artists like Creedence and The Rolling Stones, coupled with an equally unending schedule of touring and press, it's odd that Mac is labeled as a slacker.

Like the days of Steely Dan or Harry Nilsson releasing a classic album every year (or less) comes Mac DeMarco's Another One, a Mini-LP announced one year after the release of the meteorically successful Salad Days.
