MAC DEMARCO - Rock And Roll Night Club LP britpop when original vocalist Roy Loney

when original vocalist Roy Loney left and guitarist Cyril Jordan took the reins

dream-like quality

then Trompe le monde is the rock album

and there’s plenty to sweat over if you just hopped into the sauna

And make one of the most powerful albums of his career

MAC DEMARCO - Rock And Roll Night Club LP britpop when original vocalist Roy LoneyFor his debut solo album, Mac DeMarco slowed the tape down so that his voice became a loungey, sleazy baritone and this, mixed with his superb songwriting made for a stunning record which stands alone somewhat in his catalogue. It comes across as a kind of lo fi take on the dingy Americana of the likes of Lou Reed, Bruce Springsteen and Dwight Twilley. Later records were more breezy and conventional but this is one of his best.
