“A Wolf Who Wears Sheeps Clothes” is upbeat with a ska-like feel, plus harmonica and more of those claves sounds. “Dreams From Yesterday” has a prominent claves part and literally sounds as though it’s being performed live, delicately, just inches away. The stripped down “Sister” rests in the middle of the album and features raw and tender vocals with simple strumming, sans percussion. He sings that better days are ahead in a richly-filled chorus, “It’s not like you never tried to forget her / but these days are better without one another.” “Still Beating” is another song about relationships past:”Honey my heart still beats for you / even though you don’t feel it,” Demarco sings dryly. In “One Another,” Demarco returns to a familiar sound from Another One and Salad Days, which make liberal use of slide guitar and have a homegrown feel.
Shimmering synths enter in “For the First Time,” which could only be best described in Demarco’s words himself as “jizz-jazz.” “It’s just like seeing her / for the first time / again,” he laments about a lover. The album moves along with the more upbeat “Baby You’re Out,” which picks up the pace and starts to fill in the sound, adding percussive textures and warped octaves. “This Old Dog” follows in similar fashion, the theme of getting older remaining constant as he sings, “This old dog / ain’t about to forget / all we’ve had and all that’s next / as long as my heart’s beating in my chest / this old dog / ain’t about to forget,” which, at a mere 26 years of age, can seem a little sombering, but knowing Demarco’s personality, it’s most likely a half joke-half truth, similar to asking someone whether he’s laughing or crying right now. “Oh no / looks like / I’m seeing more of my old man in me,” he sings in the chorus to strumming acoustic guitar and a steady electro drum beat. The album opens with “My Old Man,” in which Demarco invites the listener to look into his reflection, in which he sees himself slowly becoming his father - a man with whom he most likely has a strenuous relationship.

Demarco also opts for more synth sounds, which drive tracks like the romantic “For the First Time” and the chill “On The Level.” An acoustic, intimate sound is also preferred, which is why Mac never sounds more than a few feet away. On this album, serious songwriting and somber lyrics about relationships and getting older take a front seat. And yes, #CincoDeMarco has been trending in anticipation. Goofball Mac Demarco’s highly anticipated fifth album, This Old Dog, was officially released (although prematurely leaked) on May 5th via Captured Tracks.
