![]() It’s clear by now that DeMarco can conquer two different forms. The first is a simple tribute to DeMarco’s half-sister the second is a diary entry as he watches his absent father struggle with illness. Sweet, short-lived songs ‘Sister’ and ‘Watching Him Fade Away’ end each side of the record. But every so often a moment of madness slips in, and this gives the Canadian an edge over his peers. ![]() ‘This Old Dog’ is mostly a gorgeous, perfectly paced record for lazy days outside. DeMarco sends shrill screams through his effects pedals, like he’s climbing up the walls. What starts as a mesh of lovely, lush chords morphs into a mad echo chamber. The latter springs up in the record’s ghoulish, seven-minute penultimate track ‘Moonlight On The River’, which captures the unease and suspicion of being comfortable in your mid-twenties.
