Review

Mac DeMarco's third studio gem, "This Old Dog," released on May 5, 2017 via Captured Tracks, is a melodious journey through the artist's soul, marking a brave voyage from Queens to the sun-drenched sprawl of Los Angeles. The album radiates with jingly guitar serenades and DeMarco's unmistakable vocal timbre, swinging effortlessly between playful whimsy and a reflective ache. Through tales of familial ties, tumultuous relationships, and quiet self-reflection, he's crafted a melodic tapestry that hums with authenticity.

Mac's hands-on wizardry with every instrument and vocal line threads an intimate, cohesive thread throughout the album’s serene 42-minute run. Songs like "My Old Man" and "This Old Dog" stick with you through their catchy refrains, while "Moonlight on the River" and "Watching Him Fade Away" whisper deeper, introspective musings. Critics lavished praise on this work, celebrating its heartfelt craftsmanship and solidifying "This Old Dog" as a keystone in DeMarco’s evolving opus, underscoring his essence in the indie music tapestry. - Harper
