You'd definitely enjoy some of this. You like 2 a lot right?

Basically this is more reflective and acoustic than his other stuff.

"Still Beating" is my favourite song of 2017

Still one of my favorites of the year. I don't think a lot of people gave this enough of a chance. A definite grower.

Definitely give it another go Doof, I see you already liked it a lot the first time and further spins should only confirm it as a great set of soothing melancholia.

I'm terrible at ranking songs outside of albums but I can confidently say it'd make my top 20, maybe top 10.

Well, ranking songs can only be taken so seriously so it's all fun.



Think you'll really like my Top 10 in particular (some of which you already know, including 'Moonlight').

I love 2 and Salad Days so much, and even Another One for that matter. But, This Old Dog is the best Mac album - c'mon Sputnik.

smooth jazz nap music



his other records are exactly that, too... At least here he perfected the formula.



This is his best album.

Yeah but 2 was lo-fi gold and more of a trip than this

This is truly nap music, but it would be a soothing nap, wake up all refreshed n shit. This record reminds me of Currents by tame impala to a strong degree

Mac's songwriting skills reached a peak with this album. Although 2 and Salad Days were arguably more enjoyable instrumentally, Demarco grabs the attention of listeners with the lyrics this time around, letting the instruments take more of a back seat. While it might not be my favorite, or his best, subjectively, this is easily his most mature.



I really hope he comes back to form after all the lizard cowboy hoopla.
