As his second full-length album, Mac DeMarco’s Salad Days brings the same nonchalance and chill vibes as his previous album, 2, but with added maturity and insightful lyrics on tracks like, “Passing Out Pieces” and “Go Easy.”
The all-ages, sold-out crowd at the Croc filled the floor with shiny faces and moshy bodies, ready to go Oh Sees mental. Immediately, the crowd began to release its own energy back, the center swirling and undulating like a hurricane sea, waves of arms and shoulders and heads crashing into each other, quite happily.
I’m in Your Mind Fuzz isn’t easily categorized. But as varied as King Gizzard are, they’ve established one surefire safe bet with each record: They implement their “more is more” approach for maximum impact. Their songs are dense, intricately crafted, and most importantly, powerful.

Riding high on the crest of 2012’s breakout album 2, Salad Days saw the slacker surf formula fleshed out with woozy synths, while lyrical refrains often sat at odds with the optimistic guitar jangles underpinning them, at turns self-reflective and emotionally bereft.
The 24-year-old Canadian singer-guitarist’s second album – a warm, polished set of sun-drenched folk-rock jams – feels like it could have been a lost used-vinyl-bin treasure from the Seventies. DeMarco channels Harry Nilsson, the Beach Boys, Steely Dan and the Beatles, but the offbeat stoner vibes are all him.
Segall recorded almost everything on his massive double album Manipulator himself. Along the way, he learned some new tricks: Conjuring grandeur with walloping choruses, injecting syncopation into his riff-rock onslaught, turning his howl into a potent glam-rock.
