Aug 7, 2015Mine a little deeper, and all of a sudden, Another One is the most technically refined album DeMarco has produced.
-
Aug 4, 2015Even songs which seem at first like throwaways take turns which end up redeeming their back-to-basics structure.
-
Aug 12, 2015This go-around, it reads vulnerable, and while we’ll never know how autobiographical the record may be, its universal appeal is undeniable.
-
Aug 6, 2015Odd, inimitable and thoroughly charming.
-
Aug 5, 2015Repeated listening makes it hard not to see the album as some sort of quasi-confessional mini-masterpiece, and if not that, at least another example of his increasing strength as a songwriter.
-
Aug 4, 2015This beguiling little album is another feather in DeMarco's baseball cap, and will live on in his growing catalog, but you might want to head over to Queens for that cup of coffee before it's too late.
-
Aug 4, 2015The whole mini album glows with a kind of stoned satisfaction; a peace of mind that can be found in even the most tumultuous of relationship struggles.
-
Jul 31, 2015Though it may be Mac’s tamest experiment yet, it also lends credence to the idea that he truly is this year’s grand romantic.
-
MojoJul 28, 2015The surface of Another One is pure pleasure; underneath, it's not quite so easy. [Sep 2015, p.90]
-
Jul 28, 2015To be able to write with universality is the mark of a songwriter’s ambition growing, and here Mac DeMarco is transitioning into one of the best around.
-
Jul 28, 2015Despite being classed as a mini-album running to eight tracks, this is DeMarco’s most fulfilling and cohesive release to date.
-
Aug 7, 2015While the record musically and thematically aligns itself a little too closely to its predecessor, that would be a stronger critique if the formula didn’t continue to work so effectively.
-
Aug 4, 2015Another One feels like some kind of sonic intermediary--showcasing the breezy, lo-fi approach that made 2 and Salad Days critical successes, while also offering a sample of what’s to come on future full-length releases.
-
Jul 28, 2015Another One is even more harrowing than Salad Days. The hazy production and wobbly guitar lines are still there, but DeMarco’s lyrics draw deeper into regret and how he could have done things better with his lover.
-
Aug 4, 2015If you like DeMarco, you'll like Another One. It's like a novella, or a made-for-TV movie--something to chew on while we wait for the next major project. It riffs on his established formula.
-
Aug 14, 2015What it lacks in ambition, it more than makes up for in songwriting.
-
Aug 7, 2015At their best, these songs have a charm that's aching and amiable.
-
Aug 5, 2015What Another One does provide--in abundance--is proof that DeMarco has the songwriting chops to back up his reputation as one of indie rock’s last true characters.
-
Aug 5, 2015The mini LP’s eight tracks adeptly catalog the painful process of healing one’s wounds.
-
Aug 3, 2015Another One is a collection of a few of DeMarco’s best songs to date, all in a day’s work for this normal guy who just so happens to get a little wild on stage.
-
Jul 29, 2015Call it a low-stakes play, but Another One is a snapshot of an artist who's found his lane and continues to mine it for affecting, melodically spry material.
-
UncutJul 28, 2015Even on stopgap releases like this relatively repetitive mini-album, DeMarco's lysergic balladry and hangdog puppy love have an unbeatable effortlessness. [Sep 2015, p.72]
-
Aug 25, 2015While the instrumentation gives the impression of self-bricolage, made up of materials from Mac’s own private collection under a particular washed-out filter, the lyrics derive from common property, things like fragments of old clichés and easy rhymes.
-
Aug 10, 2015Though nothing on this record gives the impression of being overthought, there’s a familiar strangeness to his songwriting too.
-
Aug 7, 2015Some of the 25-year-old artist’s songs here seem unrealized, his slim insights into relationships not as revealing as his often eloquent guitar work. Self-reflection turns to self-absorption, and never quite resonates on a universal level.
-
Aug 7, 2015There’s a sense of comfort running throughout that does result in repeated motifs, fancy tricks that have either appeared on previous LPs or within the same eight songs.
-
Aug 7, 2015It’s a genial set.
-
Q MagazineJul 30, 2015Sticking largely to the budget yacht rock, hazy indie sounds of its predecessor, Another One finds our hero circling the plughole of heartbreak, with stop-offs into anguish, pique and confusion. [Sep 2015, p.110]
-
Aug 10, 2015While not offensive, it’s watery childlike-ness is like a kid’s paddling pool--no deep end and replete with a drop or two of unwanted warm yellow liquid.
