Pretty Much Amazing
His guitar is constantly shitfaced, and production always sounds like it took place in a sock. But mine a little deeper, and all of a sudden, Another One is the most technically refined album DeMarco has produced

There is plenty of songwriting skill on show, with expressive execution. There is also plenty of charm, and as usual, convention is rarely adhered to

The Line Of Best Fit
Mac might just be one of the hardest-working and most down-to-earth guys in rock n’ roll. Now that he’s put his sensitive side on display, it’s difficult to be anything but totally charmed

While the record musically and thematically aligns itself a little too closely to its predecessor, that would be a stronger critique if the formula didn’t continue to work so effectively

It’s DeMarco’s plea for mundanity, but the occasionally brilliant results — both in the crisp production and brave sincerity — counteract the point

There are a couple relatively interesting moments on Another One, but otherwise DeMarco’s hooky, leggy, Human-Centipede-of-an-album doesn’t exactly raise the roof or raise any eyebrows

There’s not much to get your teeth into, with the album split between songs falling into either the bittersweet or the jaunty sharing the same tempo, instrumentation and weightless words delivered from under a sonic duvet
