The title of Mac DeMarco’s new mini-album, Another One, seems to be alluding to two different things. The title track of the album, and the fact that DeMarco is giving listeners another release just over a year since last year’s Salad Days and subsequent compilation release, Salad Days Demos.

Another One is correctly labeled as a mini-album, clocking in just under twenty-three minutes, while still showcasing more of DeMarco than ever before in some of the more literal senses. For example, at the end of the album, listeners will hear DeMarco telling them his address and inviting them to come visit him at home. He’ll even make you a cup of coffee if you do. As far as the musical aspect of the record, DeMarco proves himself a master of off-kilter melodies and rhythms, while singing almost entirely about love, and lack there of. Which may get tiring on a full length, but with Another One, it’s not long enough to overstay its welcome.

On the track “A Heart Like Hers,” Mac sings smoothly about heartbreak over dreamy chords that played in the album’s title track, but it’s hard to take issue with the repetition. The songs may share a very similar chord progression, but tell different stories. “Without Me” is a song wherein DeMarco voices selfless loverboys from all over, declaring that it’s okay if his love isn’t mutual, as long as she’s happy.

Overall, Another One is another solid release in DeMarco’s growing discography of well… Mac DeMarco albums. If you’re a fan, you’ll like it. If you’re a die hard fan, maybe you’ll take him up on that coffee.
