{"product_id":"mac-demarco-this-old-dog-vinyl","title":"Mac DeMarco - This Old Dog","description":"\u003cp\u003eBefore you ancients out there turn your heads and scoff at the premise of a twentysomething rock-and-roll goofball calling himself an old-anything, consider this: \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMac 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. This Old Dog makes\u003cbr\u003efor his fifth in just over half a decade—bringing the total to 3 LPs and 2 EPs. According\u003cbr\u003eto the DMV, DeMarco is 26. But in working-dog years, ol’ Mac here could easily\u003cbr\u003equalify for social security. To stay gold, turns out all he needed was some new tricks.\u003cbr\u003eIt was a little space—in time, location, and method—that inspired DeMarco while\u003cbr\u003emaking the record. Moving from his isolated Queens home to a house in Los Angeles\u003cbr\u003ehelped give the somewhat transient Canada-native a base, and a few more months\u003cbr\u003eon his calendar to create did their job as well. Arriving in California with a grip of\u003cbr\u003edemos he’d written in New York, he realized after a few months of setting up his new\u003cbr\u003eshop—complete with a few new toys—that the gap was giving him perspective (insert\u003cbr\u003etooth joke here).\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eRight off the bat, from the pops and clicks of the CR-78 drum machine and acoustic\u003cbr\u003estrums on the album-opening “My Old Man,” the synth-drenched beauty of the\u003cbr\u003esecond track, “This Old Dog,” it’s clear that DeMarco’s bag is filled with new tricks\u003cbr\u003eindeed. This Old Dog is rooted more in a synth-base than any of his previous releases,\u003cbr\u003ebut he is careful not to let that tactic overshadow the other instruments and overall\u003cbr\u003e“unplugged” mood of the work: “This is my acoustic album, but it’s not really an acoustic album at all. That’s just what it feels like, mostly,” says DeMarco.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDespite the changes considered during the creation of This Old Dog, Mac DeMarco’s mid-twenties masterpiece, it’s clear that the engine that motors him is in no\u003cbr\u003edanger of slowing down.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Sunny Day Records","offers":[{"title":"CD","offer_id":48125385048308,"sku":null,"price":850.0,"currency_code":"PHP","in_stock":false},{"title":"Cassette","offer_id":48125385081076,"sku":null,"price":850.0,"currency_code":"PHP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Vinyl","offer_id":48125385113844,"sku":null,"price":2090.0,"currency_code":"PHP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0650\/3956\/5044\/files\/CT260.jpg?v=1771849730","url":"https:\/\/www.sunnyday-records.com\/products\/mac-demarco-this-old-dog-vinyl","provider":"Sunny Day Records","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
