Born
Vernor
Winfield McBriare Smith IV,
it's easy to see why Canadian singer/songwriter Mac
DeMarco
has eschewed his birth name in favour of something far more in
keeping with the singer's slacker image. It's difficult these days to
find mention of DeMarco's name without the S-word being banded about
so readily, thanks in no small part to his 2012 debut
2.
Now
it seems however, that DeMarco is eager to, not quite shake off any
of the slacker ambivalence of his debut, but to build on it, bringing
to the fore the luscious melodies of '60s pop and interspersing it
with moments of lite-psychedelia and the college rock of more
contemporary acts such as Beulah.
