Review

“2,” Mac DeMarco’s debut heartbeat from 2012, is like finding an old love letter tucked away in your favorite novel. Crafted within the gritty yet cozy confines of his Montreal apartment, this album spills with a charmingly relaxed vibe. DeMarco, the maestro of soft rock and indie, spins simple yet addictive guitar rhythms and soul-searching lyrics, taking you through the bittersweet maze of growing up, love, and those family skeletons we all have in our closets.

DeMarco's falsetto feels like it’s whispering secrets under the moonlight, adding an earnest fragility to the soundscape. Tracks like "Cooking Up Something Good" and "Freaking Out the Neighborhood" become instant earworms with their magnetic melodies and reflective words, while "Ode to Viceroy" brings a cheeky nod to his nicotine affection. Critics couldn't get enough, showering love and accolades, with Pitchfork crowning it with their "Best New Music" badge and later, one of the best gems of the decade. "2" isn’t just an album; it’s a warm hug from Mac, showing us all why he’s become a staple in the indie rock tapestry of the 2010s. - Ivy
