Mac DeMarco
MAC DEMARCO performs Ode to Viceroy live at Primavera Club in Barcelona
In the summer of 2012, Mac DeMarco was just beginning to make waves in the indie music scene, and the live recording of "Ode to Viceroy" at Primavera Club captures that electric energy perfectly. At this point, he had recently released his debut studio album, "2," which showcased his signature laid-back sound and quirky lyrical style. It was a pivotal moment for DeMarco, who was emerging from his lo-fi roots and gaining fans worldwide. An interesting tidbit about this performance is how it underscores DeMarco's unique charm; his witty banter and easygoing stage presence create an intimate vibe, even in a festival setting. The song itself, a heartfelt homage to his favorite cigarette brand, highlights his penchant for blending the personal with the playful, making it a perfect representation of where he was in his career at the time.
