Mikal Cronin? More like Magical Cronin, because this avid Ty Segall collaborator produces nothing but sounds of magic. CDs, LPs, and cassettes of MCIII will be released on May 5 from Merge Records.
At Laneway Festival in Sydney, Faster Louder challenged Mac DeMarco and his mum – festival MC Agnes – to a “Mac Off” to find out which one of them knew more Mac facts than the other.
With a wonderfully goofy grin planted on his face, Mac DeMarco gives the impression of an oversized, hyperactive prodigy child. The band’s performance is incredibly tight, despite the shambolic impression they create between spurts of philosophical platitudes and offshoots into classic covers.
Did you hear MCII, the 2013 album from Mikal Cronin? Well, it ruled. And if this new song, “Made Up My Mind,” and the commendably straightforward album title,MCIII, are any indication, his next one will rule too.

Rowdy crowd, meet stacks of amplifiers — Ty, Charlie, Mikal, and Emily came to singe your ears off. There have been live recordings of Ty before of course, but never so crisply and fully realized as this scorching platter of fuzz.

It’s been almost five whole months since he put out a record, but he’s back with the Mr. Face EP, out this week on Famous Class. Mr. Face is a double 7″ EP pressed on translucent red and blue-colored vinyl, and you can apparently use the records as a pair of 3D glasses.
Mac DeMarco has just announced a brand new world tour which includes a run in Australia for Laneway Festival, his slots at Coachella, a performance during Austin Psych Fest, and his newly announced Bonnaroo gig.
For being a relatively new giant in the indie and psychedelic rock genres, Mac DeMarco is quite possibly the most insane musician on the market.

Mac DeMarco will head out on a world tour that will cover Asia, Australia, North American and Europe and make stops at Coachella and Bonnaroo. It starts today in Tokyo.
For all the talk of Ty Segall being prolific, as true as it is, many have forgotten another quality of Segall’s: his consistency. The garage laureate has delivered outstanding record after outstanding record, and he’s even improved on the way. The 27 year-old has made great strides not only as a songwriter, but as a […]
Indie’s most productive garage rocker, who has released seven albums under his own name since 2008 and been involved in a variety of other projects, isn’t using the new year as an excuse to rest. The title track from his upcoming EP, Mr. Face, is modern midtempo rockabilly before letting loose and ending in a […]

Ty Segall put out a jewel with Manipulator this past August. Proving that everything he touches is gold, this rock ‘n’ roll wunderkind does no wrong with a whole lot of fuzz.
Retail value for a pair of Vans Authentic sneakers is $55. Canadian rocker Mac DeMarco’s tattered, road-worn set are worth roughly 200 times that amount. The singer is auctioning his self-described “sexy shoes” on eBay for charity. In less than 24 hours, over 140 bids had sent the price skyrocketing well past $11,000.
With the release of their fifth record, I’m on Your Mind Fuzz the psychedelic garage waves of Melbourne, Australia’s with King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard continue to reach new ears.
Metal guru Ty Segall plays nearly all the instruments, overdubbing himself into a shaggy-ass arena band.
On Manipulator Segall proves he’s not out of ideas — in fact, on his strongest album to date, he shows that he’s just getting started.
With only two albums to his name, he’s already refined his signature guitar tone to a sound that is clean, lyrical, lush and gentle. DeMarco has matured quickly, and he doesn’t seem to care.

Manipulator, Segall’s longest album yet at 56 minutes, represents a departure from that breakneck pace — it took him 14 months to complete — and the payoff is immeasurably satisfying, with an immersive, ‘70s psych-tinged mood that swells over the course of its 17 tracks.
California garage-glam rocker Segall capped a prolific, almost manic run with his best album.
