In my opinion, Salad Days is probably his best release to date. It has a great Summer vibe to it and is definitely going to playing out of my speakers at the beach. The guitars on this album are so sharp yet dreamy at the same time. They really give that jangly vibe like on the title track, Salad Days. This was all pretty in par with his debut album, 2. One thing I really liked on this album was the addition of synthesizers, like in the song, Passing Out Pieces, and the sampling on, Chamber of Reflection. I'm glad MacDemarco went back to this style instead of what he was doing on 'Rock and Roll Nightclub'. That lo-fi, kind of noir, maybe a little dark at points style just didn't really sit with me. It almost accurately represents the cover with the whole 80s drag deal. This album was really a highlight so far in this year and I'm hoping to snacg a vinyl copy soon.
Sounds like a Tame Impala song
