Mac DeMarco – The Way You’d Love Her “Review”

1 Reply

Yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay. A new song by Mac DeMarco. Great fan of this guy’s stuff. Been a fan for more than a year now. “Salad Days” is a brilliant listen. I listened to that before I did “2” but that is just as good. (Do prefer the former to it, I’m just gonna say). But right here, you get a bit of flavours from the two.

“The Way You’d Love Her” is the man’s first single from the upcoming “mini-LP” entitled “Another One”, which comes out in early August. It is very much more of the same as what you usually get from him. But the stuff you get is of a very good quality. His style’s just one that works every time. May people be tired of hearing the “same song”? Suuuure. But it depends. If you’re a Mac DeMarco fan, there’s no reason why you shouldn’t like this one.

I did think the music and melody of the verses were a lot better than the chorus. Normally I find that in DeMarco’s songs the verses are only the mere teasers before the greater melody is shown in the latter. But that’s how I felt yesterday. Everything will most likely fall into place.

He is coming to Manchester for the Parklife Festival, and I will see him no matter what it takes. 6-7 June, folks.

My iPod #481: Orson – Happiness

Leave a reply

Never was into Orson that much. The band somehow got to number one with “No Tomorrow” back in 2006, which to me is still one of the most random chart toppers this country’s had, released an album in the same year that I guess people cared for a bit due to the success the single got, followed it up the next year with another that people didn’t care for as much and then split up because of it. The group’s existence was a bit strange.

Though the group didn’t make my kind of music, I did enjoy “Happiness” a lot. Still do. The track was released as the third single from Orson’s debut album “Bright Idea“; it just about got into the top thirty when it came out continuing a trend of a steady slide down the charts whenever they released a new single which is quite disappointing. I do consider it to be a much better track than “No Tomorrow”, not that I think it should be a number hit or anything, but it just because it’s a lot more modest. It gets its message out without being too full on. A mid-tempo feel good pop-rock track about the happiness (that happens?) when the one you love is around.
