Mac DeMarco

In early 2017, Mac DeMarco was on the cusp of releasing his critically acclaimed album "This Old Dog," which came out later that year in May. The live recording on January 1, 2017, of "Still Beating" showcases DeMarco's evolving sound, marked by a more introspective and mature approach than his earlier, more carefree albums. This performance at The Current studio highlights not only his signature laid-back style but also his growing musical sophistication. "This Old Dog" reflects themes of love, aging, and self-discovery, aligning with the introspective tone of the live rendition of "Still Beating." Additionally, during this period, DeMarco was gaining increased recognition in the indie music scene, further establishing his unique blend of rock and lo-fi aesthetics. The recording solidifies his status as a compelling live performer capable of conveying deep emotion through his music.
