Captured Tracks have just announce the 10-year anniversary edition of Mac’s game-changing record2, featuring both the album and its demos across a double LP!

Released in 2012, Mac DeMarcos debut full-length cleaned up the songwriters warped take on soft rock and brought it to a broader audience. Given the artist’s affinity for keeping things lo-fi 2 was the first time hed bothered to record demos its revealing to hear these songs in their most embryonic form. The performances here are a little looser and the sound a little hazier than on the actual LP, lending an atmosphere of dreamy vulnerability, especially to ballads like ‘Annie’ and the Lennon-esque ‘Sherrill’.

Its tough to say which DeMarco is preferable: the swooning clear-eyed baritone of the last two songs or the unsettling deep-voiced emoter of the first eight. Really, Im a fan of both versions the goofy creep and the straightforward crooner.Pitchfork
