But at their best, these songs have a charm that’s aching and amiable. Sometimes it’s all too universal: A chorus like “believe me, I’ve been waiting for her” has both a winning simplicity and a numbing familiarity. “Must be another one she loves.” DeMarco has said that this is his stab at universal pop - everyone has found and lost love, after all. He explained to NPR: 'This one is a little more of a narrative, so the singer is saying, Theres this girl out there, and she is in some kind of relationship thing, and then perhaps the singers perspective is being the other man in sort of an entanglement.' The Another One songs were written within a week. “Who could that be knocking at her door?” he asks in the title track, as he ponders love and trust slipping away. Songfacts®: This is the title track of Matt DeMarcos mini LP Another One. The lyrics are full of heartbreak and longing, with DeMarco’s voice and guitar threading through melancholy keyboards like a cat looking for a sunbeam in a room with the shades drawn. Over the course of four releases since 2012 - not one of them more than 35 minutes long - the Canadian singer-songwriter has continually upped the ante without exactly playing high stakes, and this eight-track mini-LP is his craftiest set of tunes yet. In this one, he plays his instruments out on the water and does some Michael. His melodies and slide guitar stumble and dance their way through songs that often feel like reverse Polaroids: A fully developed image fades into haze as you watch. Mac DeMarco has released the video for 'Another One', the title track from his forthcoming Another One mini-album. A boy hero to indie-rock fans who prize delicately demented pop, Mac DeMarco has the casual grace of early Beck, bringing a shambolic scuzz to the creamy sounds of Seventies soft rock.
