Mar 13, 20132 is nothing if not authentic.
-
Oct 31, 2012DeMarco writes about life--both the heavy moments and the mundane ones--with economy and newfound grace.
-
Oct 15, 2012Lyrically witty, full of neat turns of phrase, his songs recall the quirks and kinks of Jonathan Richman, the tale-telling and wit of Alex Turner (specifically the Arctics man's gentle, romantic work on the Submarine soundtrack), and the playful verbosity of Pavement's Stephen Malkmus.
-
Oct 17, 2012The songs here are too strongly crafted to be mistaken for the work of some teen slacker.
-
Nov 8, 2012Countless acts have shamelessly imitated the Velvet Underground, but DeMarco has come up with a new tweak to that formula, coming closer to a lighthearted Modern Lovers feel without sacrificing the edginess and darkness of the VU.
-
Oct 30, 2012He owns these songs of slackerhood completely, delivering a lean collection of 11 that concisely communicate the nature of the 20-something daydreamer--no more, no less.
-
Oct 15, 2012As an album, it's quite a varied piece of work, despite never really emerging from its shell.
