-
Salad
Days
is
the
follow-up
to
2012's
lauded
Mac
DeMarco 2,
which
saw
the
Edmonton
local
propelled
into
the
limelight.
Written
and
recorded
around
a
relentless
tour
schedule
(which
picked
up
all
over
again
as
soon
as
the
LP
was
done), Salad
Days gives
the
listener
a
very
personal
insight
into
what
it's
all
about
to
be
Mac
amidst
the
craziness
of
a
rising
career
in
a
very
public
format.
The
lead
single,
"Passing
Out
Pieces,"
set
to
huge
overdriven
organ
chords,
contains
lines
like
"..never
been
reluctant
to
share,
passing
out
pieces
of
me..."
Clearly,
this
isn't
the
same
record
that
breezily
gave
us
"Dreamin,"
and
"Ode
to
Viceroy"
but
the
result
of
what
comes
from
their
success.
"Chamber
of
Reflection,"
a
track
featuring
icy
synth
stabs
and
soulful
crooning,
wouldn't
be
out
of
place
on
a
fantasy
Shuggie
Otis
and
Prince
collaboration.
Standout
tracks
like
these
show
Mac's
widening
sound,
whether
insights
into
future
directions
or
even
just
welcome
one-off
forays
into
new
territory.
Still,
this
is
musically,
lyrically
and
melodically
good
old
Mac
DeMarco,
through
and
through.
The
same
crisp
John
Lennon/Phil
Spector
era
homegrown
lush
production
that
could
have
walked
out
of
Geoff
Emerick's
mixing
board
in
1972,
but
with
that
peculiar
Mac
touch
that's
completely
of
right
now.
