Mac DeMarco

In August 2017, during Mac DeMarco's performance at La Route du Rock in Saint-Malo, France, he had just released his album "This Old Dog" a few months earlier, on May 5, 2017. This album marked a significant evolution in his sound, showcasing a more mature lyrical approach and a softer, introspective style that resonated well with both fans and critics alike. "Moonlight on the River," one of the tracks performed at the festival, highlights DeMarco’s penchant for blending lo-fi aesthetics with lush instrumentation, capturing the whimsical yet reflective nature of his music. Additionally, his laid-back persona and distinct fashion choices, such as his signature baseball cap and casual shirt, have become integral to his identity as an artist. This live recording exemplifies the peak of his popularity, reflecting a moment where he successfully transitioned from indie darling to a prominent figure in the contemporary music scene.
