And it may be an antidote for his goofball exploits if, like me, you often find that stuff obscuring his formidable songwriting talent. Both in terms of sound and subject matter, the album finds DeMarco beginning to venture beyond the music he built his carefree indie bro reputation on. But This Old Dog, either his third or fifth album depending on how you want to classify mini-LPs Rock And Roll Night Club and Another One, really does present something like a mature version of the DeMarco - surprising for a guy whose “onstage antics have spanned from hoisting his longtime girlfriend Kiera onto his shoulders mid-song to performing a U2 cover nude with a drumstick up his butt,” as a new Pitchfork feature explains it. Not that you’d mistake this album for the work of anyone but Mac DeMarco, or that “ indie rock’s loveable laid-back prince,” who turned 27 Sunday, is old by most metrics.
