Another One, Mac DeMarco's 2015 follow-up to Salad Days, keeps the Canadian songwriter's warped, lovelorn guitar pop at its usual unhurried stroll, and "No Other Heart" is its sweetest ache: wobbly chords, an ambling bassline and a voice that sounds like it just woke up on the couch. DeMarco, born in 1990, had been making music long before most people knew his name, posting records on Bandcamp as Makeout Videotape in 2009 and 2010 before moving from Vancouver to Montreal in 2011 and going solo.
Captured Tracks signed him in early 2012 and put out the Rock and Roll Night Club EP on vinyl, and his debut album 2 followed the same year with "Cooking Up Something Good". Salad Days in 2014, with its lazy, likable title track, is slacker rock at its most disarming; DeMarco's own name for the style is "jizz jazz".
He has kept rolling since, with This Old Dog, Here Comes the Cowboy, Five Easy Hot Dogs and Guitar, and in 2018 he started his own imprint, Mac's Record Label.
