“All, all that I could give, all that I had to offer her, is gone, and simply locked away, no longer there to bother her”.
#MAC DEMARCO FOR THE FIRST TIME MAC#
Mac sings about what all he does is wasted when it comes to this woman. The song “A Heart like Hers” revolves around the concept of putting so much into a relationship, but getting nothing back from your partner. But unlike a normal Mac Demarco track, the synth is actually quite prominent also. This track is a very typical Mac Demarco style song- featuring predominant guitar and vocals. He states the album was influenced by the problems of touring and his subsequent attempts to “stop being a little butthole” (2014, NME.com, location unknown). This mini album was written off the back of his best received album Salad days. His songs are quite basically set out, with drums, guitar, bass, and synth- like classic 80s love songs. The only other artist well-known for analogue recording in mainstream media/music is Jack White. He also states that the writing process is very much during the same time as the recording process. Demarco’s writing style is seen as unique, as after touring, he will sit down in his lounge room studio and write the entire album in one sitting, recording it analogue rather than the very common digital recording.

This is the second recreation of Jizz Jazz studios, as his previous albums where recorded in various apartments across Canada and USA. Like all of his music, the “Another one” LP was self-written and recorded in his home studio “Jizz Jazz studios, by the water in New York City. The track I’ll be analyzing is off of his record “Another one” which is a mini LP of love songs. Mac Demarco, born Vernor Winfield McBriare Smith IV, Is a Canadian Indie rock psychedelic pop artist, known for his overalls, baggy pants, and sweet soulful tunes.
