The listener is invited to follow Demarco’s chords like the words of stories.
Those however, who are prone to listening closely and are appreciative of the hidden sensations of refined harmonies, those will for instance be able to acknowledge the surprising double dominant seventh chord in the chorus of “The Way You’d Love Her”, appreciating its adventurous nature that almost resembles a harrowing noise or screaming. Those who prefer a harsher style may think to themselves “what kind of soft pop crap is that supposed to be?” and might be bored to death. Demarco’s latest effort is highly reminiscent of the Beatles, and much like in particular the compositions by their most handsome silent member, “Another One” wants to have nothing, but a pleasant, curative, soothing effect on its listeners.
Those two outstanding musicians have always shared a prominence that rivals that of the vocals, a sense of virtuosity and creativity in the handling of their guitars that is borderline nutty. Mac Demarco would at least already make a promising candidate for Harrison’s position. When at the beginning of the Nineties rumours surfaced that the Beatles were to reunite (I believe Elvis Costello would have served as fourth band member), George Harrison declared that the Beatles were not happening again as long as John Lennon was dead.īut maybe now that Harrison is also not alive anymore there might be a chance for that to happen after all.
