On his first non-instrumental album since 2019, the 35-year-old songwriter keeps it real simple. These endearing and affecting songs look at the wreckage of his past and imagine a sweeter future.
Mac DeMarco's penned words have never been as self-conscious and reflective as they are on Guitar.
A charmingly lo-fi release.
Laufey’s gorgeous, romantic third album feels like a brilliant throwback, while Mac DeMarco’s low-fi release is slight, if unremarkable
On his latest album, Guitar, newfound peace finds Mac DeMarco at his most content and focused in years.
Think of Mac DeMarco and you tend to think of the frat boy antics beloved of his live shows, the kind of hi-jinks that make Jackass look like a pre-school
Mac DeMarco’s ‘Guitar’ is composed of mood pieces that feel tenderly reflective but too often stagnant.
