{"product_id":"this-old-dog-pre-order","title":"This Old Dog","description":"\u003cp\u003eIt was a little space-in time, location (he moved from Queens to Los\u003cbr\u003eAngeles), and method-that inspired Mac DeMarco while making This Old Dog.\u003cbr\u003eArriving in California with a grip of demos he’d written in New York,\u003cbr\u003ehe realized after a few months of setting up his new shop that the gap was\u003cbr\u003egiving him perspective. DeMarco says, “I demoed a full album, and as I was\u003cbr\u003emoving to the West Coast I thought I’d get to finishing it quickly. But then I\u003cbr\u003erealized that moving to a new city, and starting a new life takes time. Usually\u003cbr\u003eI just write, record, and put it out; no problem. But this time, I wrote them\u003cbr\u003eand they sat. When that happens, you really get to know the songs. It was a\u003cbr\u003edifferent vibe.” DeMarco wrote some demos for This Old Dog on an acoustic guitar, an eye-opening method for him. “The majority of this album is acoustic guitar, synthesizer, some drum machine, and one song is electric guitar. So this is a new thing for me.”And right from the offset, from the pops and clicks of\u003cbr\u003ethe CR-78 and acoustic strums on the album-opening “My Old Man,” and\u003cbr\u003ethe synth-drenched beauty of the second track, “This Old Dog,” it’s clear\u003cbr\u003ethat DeMarco’s bag is filled with new tricks indeed.\u003cbr\u003eThis Old Dog is rooted more in a synth-base than any of his previous releases, but he is careful not to let that tactic overshadow the other instruments and overall “unplugged” mood of the work. “This is my acoustic album, but it’s not really an acoustic album at all. That’s just what it feels like, mostly. I’m Italian, so I guess this is\u003cbr\u003ean Italian rock record.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"mac demarco","offers":[{"title":"LP","offer_id":58233127698815,"sku":"817949013158","price":16.5,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"CD","offer_id":58233127731583,"sku":null,"price":8.1,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0976\/0525\/5551\/files\/Mac_DeMarco_This_Old_Dog_Album_Art500x500.png?v=1787222439","url":"https:\/\/thevinyltable.com\/products\/this-old-dog-pre-order","provider":"My Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
