Salad Days

"Salad Days" is the second studio album by Canadian musician Mac DeMarco, released on April 1, 2014, under Captured Tracks. This indie, lo-fi gem clocks in at a concise 34 minutes, featuring 11 tracks that effortlessly blend laid-back melodies with introspective lyrics. DeMarco's signature relaxed, almost apologetic vocal delivery and warm, vintage-inspired instrumentation create a soothing atmosphere that's perfect for unwinding. The album maintains the easy-going vibe of his debut, "2," but showcases a more sophisticated and mature sound. Tracks like "Let Her Go" and "Chamber of Reflection" highlight DeMarco's knack for crafting catchy, melancholic tunes that linger in your mind long after the music stops. "Salad Days" is a complete work, offering a cohesive listening experience that keeps you in a lovely, spaced-out mood from start to finish. Whether you're a longtime fan of Mac DeMarco or new to his music, this album is a delightful exploration of his unique brand of indie lo-fi, making it a worthy addition to any music collection.
