Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.Mac DeMarco, the self-proclaimed purveyor of “jizz jazz”, operates at a pace that belies his slacker reputation, with this eight-track mini-album following swiftly on last year’s Salad Days, and mere weeks after his instrumental “BBQ soundtrack” album Some Other Ones.
It’s a genial set, shuffling in on the lovely, watery slide-guitar lines of “The Way You’d Love Her”, and taking time for a brief, Jerry Garcia-esque solo, before the plodding piano chords of “Another One” provide a bed for DeMarco’s impression of Lennon in benign mood. Like several of these songs, it betrays anxieties about a lover’s intentions, as he wonders who that is knocking at her door.
“No Other Heart”, with its electric piano, spindly guitar and throwback yacht-rock tone, provides the most poignant reflection on rejection, before the album closes with the lapping water and cloudy piano chords of the instrumental “My House By the Water”.
