Mac DeMarco, Indie Rock Star in Las Vegas
Combining a goofball public persona with distinctive songwriting style and production, Canadian artist Mac DeMarco rose to the highest reaches of indie fame quickly. While his image projected a charmingly laid-back slacker prone to occasional antics and never taking anything too seriously, his songs, ironically, contained mature themes like aging, commitment, and morals.

Mac DeMarco Las Vegas
Early releases on Captured Tracks and endless touring enlarged DeMarco's fan base, and the 2014 album Salad Days pushed his strange mix of slacker pop, jazz, '70s soft rock, and glam into the vanguard realm, selling tens of thousands of copies and changed what was happening in indie rock at the time. A multi-instrumentalist, DeMarco became known for playing and recording all of the parts himself. His 2017 album, This Old Dog, again explored themes of getting older, this time with upgraded production, a trend that continued on 2019's Here Comes the Cowboy, which he released on his own imprint.
