“As a kind of pied piper for the blog crowd, Mr. DeMarco, with his trademark gaptoothed smile and disarming baby blues….but on-the-ground, grass-roots outreach via nonstop touring and direct human connection.”

Mac DeMarco joins Loud and Quiet’s Midnight Chats Podcast – Episode 25
“…Of course, yeah. Murder of the Universe itself is three distinct chapters, by far the most narrative-driven thing we’ve ever done, including Eyes Like The Sky, which was a Spaghetti Western, narrative-driven work. This is probably more narrative-driven than that…”
“…King Gizzard & The Lizard Wizard just dropped their LP Flying Microtonal Banana in February, but the band is already gearing up for their next project. Their forthcoming album Murder of the Universe is out June 23 via ATO…”
“…King Gizzard & The Lizard Wizard have shared details of Murder of the Universe, their second album of 2017 — and far from the last if they stay on target. The 21-track concept album is divided into three chapters…”
“…And now, the band has announced plans for the second album in that series. This time, it has the even more excellent title Murder Of The Universe…”
“…There’s no single from album number two yet, but there’s an appropriately ominous and trippy video for Murder of the Universe that talks of new worlds replacing old ones and memories being blown up in the mushroom clouds. If everything on the album is as intense as this clip’s one minute, it’ll be one hell of a ride…”
“The floorboards of Webster Hall nearly felt like they were about to give way as the sold out crowd in the New York City venue jumped and danced in sync with the rhythmic hurricane stirred up by [the] Aussie rock band.”
“bewitched by the understated stroke of genius that slithers around strings and sticks, sneaking into their psychedelic sound – made the cold trek to Webster Hall with intense excitement.”

Mac Demarco lives in a paradox of chillness. While his music is celebrated for its slacker romanticism, his own schedule is packed with writing, touring, and all the other trappings of a musician’s lifestyle. He follows a path that is just as much weary as it is youthfully blissful. Yet Mac has a humble knack for making it all seem so easy. At home, signing autographs in his Echo Park bungalow, he dispatches wisdom on cigarettes, sandwiches, and Michael Jackson.
“Ty Segall made one of the first great albums of 2017. But don’t try to stream it.”
“…It’s a simple, glammed-up tune with shimmering-yet-crunchy guitars that add a welcome ’60s twist. The album artwork was designed by Segall himself…”
“…in between impossibly gorgeous, slowed-down renditions of ‘2’ favourite ‘Annie’ and more recent track ‘Without Me’ – both of which prove that, without any bells and whistles, the singer’s got a crooner’s pair of pipes that could melt the stoniest of hearts”
“…Mac DeMarco is the latest guest to eat spicy chicken wings and get interviewed for First We Feast’s series ‘Hot Ones’…”
“…DRILL: LA will be held at the Echo and Echoplex in Los Angeles from March 30th – April 2nd…”
“…Fanatic! Another week, another great show. We have more from the new Meatbodies album as well as more new Ty Segall. Also, new music from our sonic allies Zig Zags starts off our second hour…”
“…A gorgeous amble of father-son ponderings, delivered in that slightly flat, patient Demarco tone. I played this five times in a row…”
Pitchfork features Mac DeMarco’s This Old Dog on Best New Track video
“…’Maybe sometimes my love may be put on hold,’ he sings over the late-night drip of guitar swells…”
“…DeMarco’s subtle wail and refusal to bow to an apathy conceived in heartbreak are sources of strength.”
Panache and New York Night Train are once again partnering to host Village of Love, their fifth annual Valentine’s Day Planned Parenthood of NYC Benefit Concert & Dance.

“Actually, I’ve never had a dog in my life. I’ve had a lot of cats, and “This Old Cat” doesn’t really ring the same way.”
“…Ty Segall always breaks the rules, dragging sentiment through a swamp and somehow coming out clean, leaving dregs for dead.”
“…like a consolidation of the artist’s many sonic excursions than a mere return to form, incorporating “heavier than thou” riffs as well as catchy, glammed out melodies and woozy psychedelia of yore.”
“The burnished acoustic pop of ‘This Old Dog,’ the title track (and one of two new songs including ‘My Old Man’) from Mac’s upcoming LP, is in line with his continued worries about getting longer in the teeth.”
Lo-fi rocker unveils first two songs, “My Old Man” and “This Old Dog,” from first full-length album since 2014’s “Salad Days”
