Critic Reviews
Show All-
Pitchfork
Mac DeMarco is an unusually sensitive songwriter, capable of ferreting out what someone else might be feeling even as he’s absorbed in his own perspective.
-
Consequence of Sound
Another One plays like a short conversation with a heartbroken DeMarco. After it finishes playing, it makes sense that people would want to travel to DeMarco’s New York home and share a cup of coffee with him — not just because it’s a funny thing to do, but just to be there and listen to someone in their time of need.
-
Slant Magazine
Another One is a snapshot of an artist who’s found his lane and continues to mine it for affecting, melodically spry material.
-
The Guardian
Amiable slacker's charming return.
-
The Guardian
Wry pop songs about the vicissitudes of love.
-
Rolling Stone
Sun-splashed set of Seventies-style songs.
-
Reader's Digest
Mac Demarco is back with his forth album, Another One, and it's swimming with laid-back, heartfelt soul.
-
SPIN
Mac DeMarco Cleans Up His Act on ‘Another One’.
-
Paste Magazine
This is just “another one” and so is every record that comes out this year. Whether you like it or not is up to you. Luckily, it’s pretty easy to.
-
Crack Magazine
The charismatic everyman is growing and expanding, and while there aren’t as many earworms to be found here, he’s hopelessly endearing – even with a broken heart.
-
Tiny Mix Tapes
Mac’s personality/persona stitches the pieces into something perplexingly wholesome and all his own, right down to the quick message at the very end.
-
KEXP
Mac has taken a painful chapter and given us a beautiful little gift.
-
L.A. Music Blog
He’s still riding a creative high off an LP that’s incredibly worthy of your attention, and his brand of light-hearted, chill-out tunes has now become so distinct that it won’t be going anywhere anytime soon.
-
Audiofemme
It’s rare that an album can be so engrossing, yet casual and conversational.
-
The Skinny
This is a mini-album loaded with emotional integrity, tracks such as The Way You’d Love Her, Just To Put Me Down, or the stand-out Without Me etched in wistful, lovesick posture, neither cloying nor disposable.
-
DIY Magazine
It’s a relief to find DeMarco peering out the other side of fame, but he’s not fully testing himself.
-
Music OMH
There’s not much to get your teeth into.
-
Exclaim!
DeMarco's persona seems too playful to ever admit that, but repeated listening makes it hard not to see the album as some sort of quasi-confessional mini-masterpiece, and if not that, at least another example of his increasing strength as a songwriter.
-
Northern Transmissions
Mac hasn’t entirely lost his cheeky audacity or “everymac” approachability just yet.
-
All Things Loud
Whether you are sitting by yourself in your room by yourself or having a BBQ with friends, with this album the soundtrack is just right.
-
XS Noize
It’s a good one, but not one without some caveats.
-
Under the Radar Mag
Reinforces the fact that he isn't simply a joker, but a real creative talent with an undeniably infectious sense of humour.
-
Skiddle
Often the exception beyond his unmistakable appearance.
-
Sputnik Music
If Another One doesn't exactly kick off phase two of Mac's career, it does serve as harmless filler until then.
-
Pretty Much Amazing
Mac is back with a phenomenal "mini-LP".
-
Sydney Morning Herald
While his live shows are bro-fests boasting novelty covers and drunken shenanigans, Mac DeMarco's albums afford the Canadian sincerity, even vulnerability.
-
Clash Music
'Another One' wasn't intended for promoters, critics, or DJs. It's Mac cutting out the middlemen and directly communicating with his fans.
-
All Music
This beguiling little album is another feather in DeMarco's baseball cap, and will live on in his growing catalog, but you might want to head over to Queens for that cup of coffee before it's too late.
-
Drowned in Sound
What Another One does provide - in abundance - is proof that DeMarco has the songwriting chops to back up his reputation as one of indie rock’s last true characters.
-
McGill Tribune
Another One produces only one clear takeaway: It’s just more of the same, but less.
-
Soundblab
It's Mac DeMarco through and through.

Totally Dublin
Another One is DeMarco’s most mature record to date.
-
WIUX
The best has yet to come!
-
The Know
An album that feels like a collection of Polaroids from DeMarco’s life on a beautiful but disgusting beach.
-
A Velvet Postgrad
It’s hardly set up for immortality, but Another One is warm enough to tide us over for the rest of the summer.
-
Louder than War
Mac Demarco’s surprisingly sombre(ish) mini-LP delivers more of that goofball goodness we’ve come to know and love.
-
Best New Bands
DeMarco is always a joy to listen to, and he continues to please us with his delightful and inviting brand of music, lovingly referred to as “jizz-jazz.”
-
Slate the Disco
In short, well worth a listen.
-
The Local Joke
It’s just the thing to keep us listening, empathizing and piecing the fable together song by song, album by album.
-
Buffablog
Another One sounds more like a collection of B-sides that just didn’t make the Salad Days cut, bits of both gold and coal.
-
Alt Press
His guitar tone is like no one else.
-
Impact 89 FM
From alpha to omega, though varying in mood, the songs remain consistently good.
-
BandWagon Magazine
Another One is essential summer listening, and an excellent new chapter in the Demarco discography.

-
Musically Proper
Another One is timeless, and its songs will slowly, but surely, become classics from our generation.
-
Kingblind
DeMarco’s persona seems too playful to ever admit that, but repeated listening makes it hard not to see the album as some sort of quasi-confessional mini-masterpiece, and if not that, at least another example of his increasing strength as a songwriter.
-
OPJAM
On his LP Another One, Mac still manages to keep both feet firmly on the ground, his success acknowledged all while maintaining a humble perspective.
-
Gemma Hickey
Another element of fun and welcoming charm to the relationship between DeMarco and his listeners.

Great.

The Musical Hype
How does Another One stack up? Why it’s another fine Mac Demarco album by all means.
-
Occasional Album Reviews
It is not a breakthrough or anything, but just more material for DeMarco fans.
-
The Bulletin
DeMarco’s new album is a boldly vulnerable update on his love life.
-
Speaker TV
In an ever-changing industry that encourages self-evolution and discovery, this stand-alone record, samples Mac Demarco’s pre-established compositional rubric that will forever nurture his strengths and unyielding individuality.
-
Bristol in Stereo
Why is it then, aside from having played it approximately nine thousand times, that I and such a motley crew of others are vibing on Demarco? I’d say it’s his uncanny ability to create a mood by simply shooting the sh*t.
-
Zumic
While Salad Days was DeMarco's most ambitious effort, blending fears about his maturation, love, and loneliness, the focus of Another One is more singularly visceral.
-
Gronblog
The rawness and sincerity translated through his songs, particularly in this small longing-laced collection, makes it clear that when it comes to songwriters, Mac Demarco is not just Another One.
-
Eleven PDX
Mac DeMarco may not have too much to bring to the table as a musician, but as a songwriter he has the importance of the so-called star’s duty to be honest and vulnerable in order to craft songs that will linger in memory.
-
SLUG Mag
DeMarco’s voice is crucial to Another One’s classic appeal as well, as he experiments with higher-pitched vocalizing and harmonizing to create an album that feels pivotal to DeMarco’s potential as a timeless artist, and not just our favorite goofball rocker of the 21st Century.

The Fire Note
Grab a cup of coffee with Mac and enjoy his latest record!
-
Monsters and Critics
You may not immediately gravitate towards this release as a casual listener, but given time, you may just find yourself appreciating the magic of Mac DeMarco.
-
Under the Radar
Glimmering guitar noodles are ever plentiful throughout the release and his trademark sound carries over once again.
-
The Current
The charm of Mac DeMarco is that he is the unsung hero of the disaffected Millennial. His music stands alone in texture, arrangements and tempo.
-
Plastic Magazine
Seven songs of newly recorded material (alongside an eighth track of environmental recordings attached to an invitation to have coffee at his house – complete with his address) will do many people just fine as DeMarco prepares his next album.
-
TimeOut
As great as these new songs are, they’re also incredibly repetitive.
-
Valley Advocate
At 25 years old, Demarco is a likeable oddball, and a talented enough artist to evolve significantly over time. For now, though, it’s easy to enjoy slacking off with him.
-
Headstuff
Mac Demarco is the musical equivalent of going downhill on a bike in the sunshine.
-
Jonk Music
Writing an entire album of love songs is one thing, but creating something that an audience can still enjoy on their own terms deserves bonus points.
-
The Daily Nebraskan
Mac Demarco’s upcoming mini-album "Another One" invites the listener to a heart-to-heart conversation.
-
The Monitors
Although Another One still retains the uber-chilled vibes of his breakthrough record, it’s a large step forward in shedding his ‘slacker’ label.
-
Irish Times
Superb.
-
Edmonton Journal
Casual, comfortable and perhaps just a stop-gap until you can get together for a much longer, more meaningful hang.
-
LONDON IN STEREO
This isn’t DeMarco simply rehashing 2’s effortless charm; you get the sense he’s fashioning something far more ambitious and, as proved with the patchy Salad Days, it’s going to take a bit of fine tuning before he gets it right. In Another One, however, Mac’s getting bloody close.
