and another one mac demarco bandcamp album

This one is a little more of a narrative, so the singer is saying, 'There's this girl out there, and she is in some kind of relationship thing,' and then perhaps the singer's perspective is being the other man in sort of an entanglement. It's interesting, and I end up coming up with weird things. That works.' I don't have the proper hand or fingering technique, so I'm just trying to figure out something that works for me that I can actually play.

So it's kind of the same thing where I know where notes are, and I know some chords and some chord variations and stuff, but a lot of times I'll just put my hand down and be like, 'Oh, I like that. On the piano, to the same respect, I never even learned how to play. It kind of forced me to find new shapes and new chord progressions and new things. So I wouldn't do something like, 'Here's the major scale, here's the pentatonic scale,' because I just had no idea where the notes were on the guitar anymore. What I used to do with my old band is I would tune my guitar strings so I couldn't find chord shapes. Well, I mean, on the synthesizer - I don't have a piano. Sitting down at the piano to write songs, for me, is pretty interesting. I'm not a great piano player or anything, but I can try to bang away a little bit. You’ve got to be right about this.'Another One' is my favorite song on the album because I'm kind of a guitar player guy, so to write songs that are all keyboard and no guitar is a new thing for me. But it doesn’t matter at that point because it doesn’t matter because your heart’s beating so fast. But most of the time, it’s not really going to work that way. Your heart starts pounding, you’re all excited, and you get all these ideas and all these notions. It’s the fantasy and the imagination - the initial feelings that come before things kind of get f***** up. It’s that feeling where, “Maybe you’ve got something else going on, but if you came with me, I’d be able to make you real happy.” It’s that naivete or whatever, that arrogance, the excitement part of having a crush on somebody. This one kind of mixes the scenes from the first two songs, where there’s somebody out there, and you really want to love her and you think you’d really like her.

Read an excerpt on the third track, ‘No Other Heart’, below and explore the whole album over on NPR. Now DeMarco has made the entire release available to stream along with an in-depth commentary about each how he wrote each track. Though the record is only 24-minutes, it’s one of the most focused things DeMarco’s made with each song framed around themes of love and relationships. Though Mac DeMarco released his breakthrough album Salad Days only last year, he’s followed it up with the aptly titled Another One, due August 7 via Captured Tracks. The album ends with the singer’s address and an invitation to come by for coffee.
