Review

Let's talk about Mac DeMarco's "Salad Days," a 2014 gem that shimmers with laid-back, indie rock goodness straight from his Brooklyn apartment. Imagine breezy slacker rock vibes, peppered with dark humor and dreamy synths, swirling around introspective and romantic narratives. The album is such a natural evolution from his earlier work, yet it stands out with that casually jangly guitar-driven style that has become quintessentially DeMarco.

Dive into "Salad Days," and you'll find lyrical treasures dedicated to his long-time love, Kiera McNally, with tracks like "Let My Baby Stay" and "Passing Out Pieces" revealing his tender side. Meanwhile, "Chamber of Reflection" offers a moody trip into self-awareness and growth. Not to mention, it climbed up to number 30 on the Billboard 200, proving the magic in balancing his carefree charm with deeper, more mature themes. This album is a radiant chapter in DeMarco's story, celebrating his unique blend of indie rock flair and heartfelt songwriting. - Lila
