My Take
Mac DeMarco is one of those rare artists who makes slacker-core feel like a genuine artistic statement rather than an excuse to not try. Born in Duncan, BC and raised on Canadian suburbia, he built his whole sound around that woozy, jangle-pop warmth — chorused guitars slightly out of tune, low-fi production that sounds like it was recorded in a garage with the windows open — and somehow made it totally irresistible. Salad Days and 2 are legitimately great albums, the kind you put on when the weather is wrong and nothing is urgent. He also has this disarming goofball stage presence that makes you love him even more than the records. He's not chasing trends, not polishing everything to death, and there's a real honesty in that. Underrated songwriter, overrated slacker, perfect combination.
