"As I'm getting older, chip up on my shoulder..." is the opening line from Mac DeMarco's second full-length LP Salad Days, the follow up to 2012's lauded Mac DeMarco 2. Amongst that familiar croon and lilting guitar, that initial line from the title track sets the tone for an LP of a maturing singer/songwriter/producer. Someone strangely self-aware of the positives and negatives of their current situation at the ripe old age of 24.

Written and recorded around a relentless touring schedule, Salad Days gives the listener a very personal insight into what it's all about to be Mac amidst the craziness of a rising career in a very public format. The lead single, "Passing Out Pieces," set to huge overdriven organ chords, contains lines like "...never been reluctant to share, passing out pieces of me..." Clearly, this isn't the same record that breezily gave us "Dreamin" and "Ode to Viceroy," but the result of what comes from their success. "Chamber of Reflection," a track featuring icy synth stabs and soulful crooning, wouldn't be out of place on a fantasy Shuggie Otis and Prince collaboration. Standout tracks like these show Mac's widening sound, whether insights into future directions or even just welcome one-off forays into new territory.



Still, this is musically, lyrically and melodically good old Mac DeMarco, through and through. The crisp John Lennon/Phil Spector era homegrown lush production that could have come off Geoff Emerick's mixing board in 1972 with that peculiar Mac touch that's completely right now is still present. "Brother," a complete future classic, is Mac at his most soulful and easygoing but with that distinct weirdness and bite that can only come from Mr. DeMarco. "Treat Her Better" is rife with Mac-isms, heavily chorused slinky lead guitar, swooning vocal melodies, effortless chords that come along only after years of effort, and the other elements seriously lacking in independent music: sentiment and heartfelt sincerity.

We're only in Part 2 1/2 (one EP and two LP's in) of Mac's career. As you read this and as you hear the album on April Fool's Day of this year, he'll probably be on tour, or preparing for one... or maybe already writing new music. A relentless work ethic is something to be admired in today's indie music scene, but when it's of the quality Mac is giving us time and time again, it starts to turn from admiration to awe.

Dinner

Dinner is the alias for Danish singer and producer Anders Rhedin. Since 2012, Dinner has released 2 EPs and a guided meditation-tape.

Dinner lives a somewhat nomadic existence, having alternated between LA, Berlin, and Copenhagen for years. This last year, Dinner's itinerary has included falling in love with a baroness in Berlin, being taught Qi Gong from a renowned Sifu on a mountainside in the Algarve, working on commercial pop songs in Hollywood ("The essence of dark magic", according to Dinner), and playing shows at festivals and galleries all over Europe.

Dinner's songs seem to be inspired by his own life - in the lyrics you find references to cities, parties, and girls (the latter sometimes referred to as ‘the divine feminine'). Dinner himself claims that "all the songs are about death and transcendence".



What does Dinner sound like then? According to Dinner's friend Kim LAS something like:

"An unruly dream immersed in sexual exhibitionism, un-dogmatic New Age, and perfectly measured idiocy mixed up with fumbling grandeur and awkward, arena-sized pop hooks."

Or maybe one could say that Dinner sounds like a sun-bleached cassette-tape you find stuck behind your car's dashboard that was last played at a party in Dusseldorf in 1984 - full of echoes of sweaty depressions, spirituals longings, and early morning trances.

Sometimes Dinner sounds a bit like melodic EBM meets euro-pop meets darkwave meets Denmark. And sometimes he sounds more like a male descendant of Nico singing Eno-esque pop songs on discarded Julian Cope tracks. Currently Dinner is writing songs for his debut album in LA.
