When closing his set in front of the cinema screen at Shadow Electric earlier in the year with Still Together – an incredibly sweet and heartfelt love song if there ever was one – Mac Demarco looked to have a pinkish, out of place light projected onto his crotch. Closer inspection made it clear that he was just singing his heart out while deciding to air out his gennies (short for genitals). Such is the endearing dichotomy (MORE LIKE DICK-OUTomy) of Mac, capturing moments of beauty imbued with unhinged, yet innocuous, depravity. The first taste from Salad Days is a jaunty, effect-heavy classic pop throwback to tunesmiths of yore. A heady haze of introspection.
