INFO: Mac DeMarco is arguably one of the biggest goofballs in contemporary music. There's a reason why he's best friends with Tyler The Creator. His colorful personality definitely shines through in his music too. This video is for anyone who love to watch documentaries about or featuring Mac DeMarco (Pepperoni Playboy) (Mac DeMarco Tripping Out In Dawson City) etc.

What artist/band should be next?
FIshmans
Dan Auerbach \ Kurt Cobain
Genesis ( peter grabriels ) or rush
HOMESHAKE
Ty Segall
Mac looks like a human embodiment of a thrift store. That’s why I love him so much
lol that's true xD
oh my god yes
That's mad deep
His face looks like the son of Frodo and Sam.
Brroooo youre a genius
In 20 years his music will be considered as dad rock and our children gonna hate him
it already is dad rock
I’d always make more noises if he did
Dad cock
Since he has a lot of Dad Rock influences he’s kind of helped make it more hip and cool. Has enough cred that our kids will dig him like we dig stuff from the past too, I reckon
:'(
He's a likable, simple man.
He really is.
Thats what i like the most about him
Yes!
he's chill and humble, what's not to like about him?
dude mac demarco literally talks personally to you at the end of his albums that's why we get easily in his world
That too :) Maybe he should narrate some books in the future. I think that would sound dope.
Lie Likes Music totally! great channel btw :)
Lie Likes Music similar to the beatles
Mac is a freaking genius. Never have I ever fell in love with an artists and his craft until I met Mac
Really? Isn't there any other band or artist that you appreciate at the same level?
Lie Likes Music hey there’s this cool band called hippo campus, try making a video about them
ScruffPuppie
Blind Hydra yessss fr
Literally me
No comment's about the sound of the guitar ? He has an incredible use of effects and that makes his sounds instantly recognisable. He uses always the same guitar and it's a shitty guitar he bought for 10 bucks
I know, but i didn't want the video to go on forever. Most people only watch half of this anyway.
But thank you for adding it here in the comments :)
Wawawaw Wawawa he actually just got his own guitar made by fender and has good gear now
on his first albums he uses a cheap guitar he bought for 10 bucks, I saw that in an interview
Wawawaw Wawawa that cheap guitar was paired with a 300 dollar pedal and a 2000 dollar amp. The guitar is only part of his tone
Wawawaw Wawawa he plays an american fender stratocaster and had played one for a couple years
Freaking Out In The Neighborhood is my favorite
Oh that's a good one!
stinky rat love the beginning of it 😁
sameee
I have it tattooed on my arse
@@jordanphillips9324 dude rad dude same dude rad bro sick
To me Mac Demarco is one of the best if not the best thing that has happen to music in the last couple of years, him and all the bands that came along
Many people would argue the opposite haha. But i do enjoy his music quite a lot.
I don't know about the indie-acts that follow though. Haven't listened that much to them.
Agree 100%
Steve VC haha, no
Steve VC Mac also inspired a bunch of shitty rip-offs, too. He’s still my favorite artist, but I don’t think he really had a “positive” effect on music
"his grandmother was an Oprah singer"
lol Christian I love you
Never change
RhythmGrizz I don't get it. What was so fun about that? 😃
Lie Likes Music
the way you pronounced the word "Opera" with your accent made it sound like "Oprah". The famous daytime tv host. So I heard "Oprah singer" and it's a funny thought.
Respect man. no worries. 👍
RhythmGrizz Haha alright 😉 That's so random. I was just curious. So how do you say it? More emphasiz on the opEra? The E?
It's more like "OP-Pra", rather than "OH-Pra"
think 'hip hOP'-ra ;)
Understanding Mac DeMarco.
Step 1: hit blunt
*Step 1: hit cigarette
his music is amazing even when sober
Idk, blunt has been a good boy lately.
Step 2: eat the shroom
These video essays are so good, they're so detailed, keep it going man
rick the lai Thank you for saying that Rick 😊 I sure will. Wish you the best with your channel this year!
u forget about the whole slacker culture, tht's essential to understand how it appeals to our fasterdriven generation
I find the most interesting part to be the honestity during his live shows and how serious he' s about his musicianship, finding that balance it's something that I would like to see/do moreoften
superb job btw
Tame impala next please!
Virko i second this! Tame impala!
Yes!!
Lets make this happen!
LET IT HAPPEN
Yas
There’s so much to him I wonder if he even realizes it.
I think he knows. He's just an expert at keeping things cool lol.
Mac used digital recording equipment for This Old Dog, not tape. I asked him myself, thats what he told me.
Julian CP cool! where did you talk to him?
in Durham, NC. I met him in September 2017.
Mac probably said that because it wasn't purely analog. But there's definitely something tapey in the mix.
Or just use GarageBand and iPhone headphones for the mic
do understanding King Krule pls
Hmm good request!
itz.krishxn YESSS
yaaaa
Lie Likes Music yess!
Lie Likes Music do it!
"listening to ac/bc"
a lot of people write him off but theres actually some amazing stuff going on in his music
Yasmine Hosseini Yes there really is. If i thought differently i wouldn't be making this video. Thanks for sharing.
Mac DeMarco... The king who started the whole bittersweet indie study music/bedroom pop music vibe that sad, lovelorn teenagers now listen to... Clairo, Cuco, King Krule, Rex Orange County, Still Woozy...

The growlers pls 🙏
"hope you have an amazing 2019"
but, uh .... uh, well, you too.
He looks like Elijah Wood, Frodo Beggins!
I hear a lot of people saying that xD Maybe a little bit.
He's like Frodo after too much pipe-weed.
I'll do my utmost best to try promote this channel, loving it so far.
Wow that's amazing to hear!! Thank you man. Love all your support!
I promise to create the best video essays possible.
His guitar playing is phenomenal
Do pavement... it might be interesting because of all the different styles. Thanks!
sydney scelfo Excellent suggestion, Sebadoh would be good too
Awesome video!
The way you broke down the mechanics of his music was great!
Dude, your curiosity for the music is the same juice that made dudes like me record collectors back in the day before the internet, streaming and marketing experts running music labels. Finding something yourself and passing it on to others to have their own experience with is the quiet revolution. Cool.
Yeah maybe it is the same juice. I also love vinyls though. Don't have the
biggest collection yet, but i'll expand it once i have the time and money for
it. Have you collected for many years?
I've always found the melodies in his music to be striking, particularly on guitar. They're simple, yet really impactful. "Blue Boy" is one of my favorites because the melody is happy, but also mysterious and nostalgic in a way.

I'd agree with the comments you made on lyrical content in his songs wholeheartedly. (honestly I agree with most of it and I think this is a great video). But, the lyrics stick out to me in his music. Interestingly enough, I think the low resolution in his music videos, his cheap guitar, and his use of analog recording equipment conjure up a similar feeling to the lyrics. While they might seem unrelated, both the emotional depth and the "mistakes" and "imperfections" in his songs give his music a gorgeous and unbelievably human quality. It speaks to us in a way that is part nostalgia and part raw emotion. (Just to be clear here before I say this last little bit, I'm not against technology or innovation. I think both are great etc. etc. etc.) Mac's music has a quality of purity to it. As humans, we have a bias towards all that which is natural. Mac's music perfectly embodies the "natural" that we all are searching for. Untouched by technology, he can create something free of the system we all feel trapped in.
Well his guitar and tape-machine are pieces of technology too though. But i totally get what you're refering to here.
I think his voice, lyrics and playing style boils down to his mindset about music. It doesn't need to be perfect. As long
as you play and have fun, that is what matters. He embodies the sweet spot between taking music seriously and not
taking it seriously at all. And that polarity really shows in his music. It's intriguing, because a lot of music only has one
dimension to it. Mac's got at least two.
Lie Likes Music yeah of course, sorry if I stayed that poorly. I meant more daws and just general things people might consider cold machines or something like that.
This video was very well done. You rock Lie! Keep up the great work.
Thanks EJ! I sure will. Greetings from Norway.
Thank you so much for covering Mac! I personally admire him a lot, great artist and a great human being :-)
No problem. I think the exact same dude. Have a great night.
These video essays are so perfect! You just got another sub dude :)
Thanks Nash! I really appreciate it.
I would like to have your playlist if is that possible, you seems a guy with a good taste in music and i really love discovering new bands. Or if you have lastfm just add me there or smth and i will check the artists (www.last.fm/pt/user/nashart). Big up from portugal :)
great vid man! definitely deserves more subs
I am Azriel Thank you Azriel. It means a lot to me 🤘😊
innit
Great Video Lie! Loved your shout out to the guitar nerds! Chamber of Reflection is amazing by the way.
Dude, your channel, your content, your writing.. I stummbled on it all today, watched like, 6 videos, went to subscribe and saw you only had 16k, I was expecting upwards of millions, you're doing some great work, you earned my sub for sure, keep it up and you're sure to blow up!
Adam Calhoun Hey thanks for saying that! It made me really happy to hear that you like it that much. I sure will 😊
understanding boy pablo!!!!
Lol isn't that the Norwegian band that had a huge TH-cam hit?
They kind of sound like Homeshake and Mac right?
YES. pls try to do one about them even tho we barely know anything about the band lolol
Kevin Zhu they are touring in Europe right now too... no state side dates tho
Understanding what? I like them but they are barely one year in the scene and have released only one album.
Lie Likes Music Pablo's a pioneer of 'meme rock' and the first of his kind. Serious dream pop with a fun twist.
This channel is the sunlight in my universe
Mišo Korošec Woah hahah that's so nice of you ☀️ Thank you for the kind words!
Just found your channel and absolutely fell in love with it! These musical breakdowns of various artists are extremely inspiring for young artists like me:)
I'm so glad to see your channel growing like this!
Thank you. That's very nice of you :)
Just found your channel, brilliant content my dude
Alex UK Thanks man 😊 Let me know if you have any requests for future content.
I recently got to go and see Ryan Adams in Manchester a few months ago and i've always thought of him as a really underrated singer/songwriter or somehow unheard of by a lot of people. Would be interesting to hear what you have to say about him and his music. Will definitely be watching more of your content though man, keep it up!
Awesome job, Lie. Mac is one of my favorite artists living today.. So creative and versatile, he always just knows how to write a solid album. I also find him as a big inspiration for recording.
Can't wait to see who you do next.. So detailed and informative essays. I'll suggest Jeff Rosenstock, Car Seat Headrest and/or The Velvet Underground!
Thank you for supporting me my friend :) It means a lot! The Velvet Underground is pretty high on my list.
You might see that video coming up during the second half of this month.
De Marco's music and persona are fascinating. I listened to him only once and I got caught. Great analysis! Make a video about Peter Gabriel this way, with reference to his childhood, family, to his influences, his period with Genesis, then solo. It is difficult to synthesize so many informations and sketches, but would be a challenging effort and Peter deserves it. Thank you for the work you've already done for other artists.
GREAT video and well put together !
i love these videos as well, btw if you like Mac Demarco you should check out Lonely Gimmick - Grumpy Days, gives me strong Mac vibes
Oooh, seventh chords? We're getting pretty frickin jazzy here!
Tommy wiseau making dope videos these days
Anthony R Diaz exactly lmao
Oh, hi doggie !
Lie, Thank you soo much for your video for Mac Demarco. You have made me a fan of his for life. I can't get enough. Your fantastic! THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!!!
Hahah. That is amazing! No worries. This is after all what music is made for.
We share it with others and enjoy it even more as a result. Cheers 👍
Thank you so much, this was really informative
! I love his music and the videos he creates with others. I plan to do an presentation about him, so this will be helpful.
he’s just so easy to digest :)-
Benji Bee Eheh
Did not know him at all, that's why we follow you right?! I know Jonathan Richman, love his song Egyptian Reggae, thought it was a big hit when I was young. Have to listen more to Mac , but his video's from what I saw were pretty cool. This Video essay format is so much better than the older ones, so relaxing to look at. Nice new logo too ! I'll add some bands I would like to see . TX 👏
I had never heard about Richman until i started doing research for this
video actually. But i'll give him a listen. Oooh i'm glad you like the new format.
I try to make it so that you can just play it in the background as well. Much like
a podcast, so that it can be interesting even without the visuals. And yes, feel
free to add some requests :) Glad to hear from you Jackie.
You really have to listen to , my kind of woman, passing out pieces , this old dog, chamber of reflection , dreaming , ode to viceroy , salad days and let her go !!!!
Hi Rebecca, I will give it a try! Thanks for the advice 😉
I subscribed to the messenger notifications and mac demarco was the best i could hope for. Great video. Keep it up
Awesome! Yes i remember someone requested Mac DeMarco in the comments
of the last video (or somewhere else). And since i'm a big fan of him myself, i didn't
hesitate to make one about him. Thanks for the support!
SUCH a good and genuine video thank you!
King Krule next?
Weez YES GOOOOODDD
YESS
Can you do one on MGMT? Becose of their upcoming album and things they came back recently...just made me feel reall good about their music :)
ahh man love this channel now even more after digging through it and finding mac demarco
Haha i love Mac. One of those musicians who make great music while not taking it seriously at all.
this video is very well edited! love it, good job man
Thank you :) Greetings from Norway
Tape recording does not necessarily mean low-quality, in fact usually better than digital. Although old, crappy and cheap, domestic tape recorders can sound lo-fi. That is what Mac is using.
Peter Kovács Yes that's what i tried to emphasize. Maybe i didn't make that clear enough. But thank you for adding that 😊
Very informative, A great watch!
Do one on MGMT pleaseee :)
About time someone made a video like this. Well done man.
thanks. i never really got into mac demarco despite everyone around me being obsessed with him, but this video has made me give him another shot. great video! very informative, keep up
uranianhipster Thank you! Yes he's very hyped up these days. Yes make sure you do so. Salad Days is a fantastic album to start with 🥗
Now it's time for ATTACK DEMARCO!
Oh wait wrong video
I love Mac Demarco ! Great video!
Mighty Diamond Thank you! Glad you like it.
Awesome content man
Love your videos!!! Grateful for em!! Thanks my man!!!
musicisbrilliant Thank you for supporting me!! Do you have any request for future topics?
Chamber of Reflection's main melody is sampled from a Japanese artist, though.
I know. But it doesn't sound sampled. It sounds recreated with another instrument.
Right, I meant recreated actually. Still, wish you mentioned that.
Homo Sapiens th-cam.com/video/Q8oS_B6IaKE/w-d-xo.html There you go.
I hate when people feel the need to put music into Shaun-ra's.
But Shaun-ra's is life
What is Shaun-ras?
@@rainysquishy615 life
Amazing video bro
Good analysis - excellent presentation - nice work!
Mac is a god. Period.
Dinastía Chow Fan word dawg
Do tame impala plsss
High chance that i'll do them very soon!

I want to say thank you for making these videos. Because of this, you showed me an amazing artist.
That's awesome to hear! No worries. I love making videos about music i like.
wow this was great! must've taken a hell of a lot of editing!! new subscriber this is wonderful!
(Had you made a Rundgren review? Was you?) I used to enjoy DeMarco a lot. As time has passed, I just lost my interest. But your review on his works, lit up the beauty I used to see on Mac's albums! You got my like and subscription 👍
Felipe Fernandes Yes i made reviews of several of his albums. Did you watch one of them? And i'm so glad that your interest for his music spaked up again. Thanks for sharing.
“Its the stuff that the tape puts on the recording by accident”
this is really cool! you really break it down in a beautiful way!
I'm glad you think so. Thank you for watching and commenting.
Well made video, incredibly informative, and about an artist close to my heart? You've earned a new subscriber my dude. Can't wait to see other good content like this.
MGMT and Tame Impala and The Libertines!!! :))
Tame Impala!
young mac demarco looks like matty b lmao
Great video!!!
Great video man!
if you like Mac Demarco you should check out Lonely Gimmick - Grumpy Days, gives me strong Mac vibes
Why do you have only 3K subscribers ?
I guess there's still more great videos that has to be made.
Thanks for raising the question and taking the time to write :)
100% Quality content. Please make a video about The Beatles and Pink Floyd.
Joshua Wilfred I get a lot of requests, but they're definately coming up sooner or later 👍
I am very much looking forward to it! :)
HOLY COW HE'S GROWN SO MUCH IN JUST A MONTH!
mac is the homie, thank you god bless
True! Thank you for watching man.
Youre work it's so sick brother! Congrats! Thanx 4 the video! Love it!

soothing soundscape
I hate to be this person but this old dog was recorded on ableton, if you watch mac demarco Ernie ball video, he states it. By the way I love the videos.
No problem, it's good that people correct me. I can't get everything right each time.
Thank you for taking the time to watch and comment Ryan.
yaman prob got run through a tape machine
In the Ernie ball video, mac says he used ableton to record the tracks, but didn't process anything using plugins- he sent it back out to a mixing desk to mix it. so its kind of half digital half analogue.
Thanks man :)
Thanks :)
Hey this is a pretty late comment, but I'd like to see a video on either Nothing But Thieves, or Royal Blood
SKRXGaming royal blood.
Top notch video! Great insight on one of my favorite artists :D
Lord Shredder I'm glad you think so 😊 Thanks for the feedback.
this was beautifully done i love it so much
What is psychedelic Pop? :O I think a video about modern-ish genres could be helpful.
Ouh people are gonna love and hate that xD Genres is such a polarized topic.
Some people hate new genres, others love them. I'll see what i can do. Psychedelic
Pop is very much like psychedelic rock just softer. The artists use synthesiers, guitars
often supplemented with effects like fuzz, flanger, tremolo etc. Some examples of artists
that create this type of music is most notably The Beatles, The Beach Boys, Tame Impala,
and Pond just to mention a few old and new ones.
I wouldn't call it psychedelic pop tho. Maybe psychedelic RnB? doesn't really feel energetic enough for pop and the chord progression doesn't really fit either.
psych pop is for those who cant handle king gizzard obviously
Vaporwave almost
Its jizz jazz my dudes
Oprah singer? Wow!
SRNF 😅 Sorry bout that. Haha
You inspired me to start Oprah singing as well.
Mac DeMarco is such an inspiriton for the genre I want to compose into.. Thank you for this! 💖
I'll definitely show your channel to my friends, love it! I like the complexity of the things that You present, well done :D
I don't think my videos are that complex, but i'm glad you enjoy them!
And yes that would mean a lot to me. Thanks for watching and commenting.
12:13 i was there it was dope
I can imagine it was xD He makes it look like a big party.
gr8 vid but don't play background music while trying to describe how certain songs sound, it gets rlly confusing. You should just play the song you are describing.
What a great mini doku about him ! good work :)
Bama Thank you 😊 I appreciate that you took the time to watch it.
You're doing a job here on TH-cam that Fantano or others alike can't do. Keep it up and thank you for these amazing vids 🤙
Good video but the “simple lyrics” caused by mostly one or two syllable words is a weak point considering most songs use one or two syllable words
tame impala nexttr
Stella Lee Oooh i can see it coming 😉
Good shit bruh!
Excellent video !
Thank you Mia :)
