March 27 street date. Montreal's Mac DeMarco (formerly the aritst known as Makeout Videotape) is the anti-thesis to your stereotypical singer-songwriter. Disregarding the seriously somber moments in 'Rock And Roll Night Club', he refuels throughout with moments whimsical and youthful spontaneity, whilst retaining the endearing and subtle commentaries that exude his familiarity. His most impressive trait is his undeniable and instinctual ability to compose magical pop jingles. His dusted jams have garnsihed him accolades that are as ever-increasing as his song writing abilities; his sound rendering comparisons, but in a nomadic fashion alluding no distinct origin. CD features two extra tracks.

Available now - no longer available via the Royal Mountain label. Before you ancients out there turn your heads and scoff at the premise of a twenty-something rock-and-roll goofball calling himself an old-anything, consider this: said perpetrator, he who answers to the name Mac DeMarco, has spent the better part of his time thus far writing, recording, and releasing an album of his own music pretty much every calendar flip, and pretty much on his own. 2017's "This Old Dog" made for his fifth in just over half a decade.

October 14 street date. Retrospective double LP collection including both "2" and "2 Demos" as well as an 8 page booklet including new liner notes written by Mac DeMarco. "2", DeMarco's debut full length, was released in 2012 and cleaned up the songwriter's warped take on soft rock and brought it to a broader audience. Given DeMarco's affinity for keeping things lo-fi - "2" was the first time he'd bothered to record demos - it's revealing to hear these songs in their most embryonic form. The performances here are a little looser and the sound a little hazier than on the actual LP, lending an atmosphere of dreamy vulnerability, especially to ballads like "Annie" and the Lennon-esque "Sherrill".
