“…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.”
“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.”

DeMarco shares new tracks “My Old Man” and “This Old Dog.
“Rather than steadily hone a signature sound, Segall has used each new release to giddily leapfrog between rock ‘n’ roll subgenres with disorienting speed and finesse.”
“…cranky garage rock, experimental psych pop, nu glam, neo country and music he himself has described as “Satan in space” – Segall’s been all over the nether regions of alternative music.”

Sense of Place Melbourne: King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard
“…the acoustic and amplified contrast doesn’t phase the self-described desert man, who paradoxically considers himself a good rainy-day songwriter.”
“…the California bandleader’s prolific output over the past decade has grown increasingly ambitious in its own humble and rough-hewn way; at the same time, he refuses to set aside the gnarled riffs, spilled booze and busted knuckles of his most blistering work.”
“…Segall has a knack for spinning out garage rock, punk and fuzz with monster hooks – shredders and stompers that recall an earlier golden era – without sounding too much like a throwback to the past.”
“…Ty Segall has just shared “Break a Guitar,” the opening salvo from his self-titled album, which is due next week (1/27) via Drag City. The song sets the tone for the album: thick, swampy, glammy riff rock…”
Happy Magazine features New Music from Ty Segall and Thee Oh Sees
“…It felt good to do another self-titled album as a refresher moment, Segall explains, especially after [2016’s] Emotional Mugger…”
“…Making a racket in the middle of LA isn’t much of an accomplishment when you think about it. But finding a way to shut up truly is…”
“…There’s no word yet on what DeMarco’s new album’s called or when to expect it, but presumably it’s coming sometime relatively soon…”
