Salad Days

Mac DeMarco

In celebration of the 10th anniversary of Mac DeMarco’s critically acclaimed album Salad Days, this limited edition 2xLP is a must-have for fans and collectors alike.

Originally released in 2014, Salad Days was the follow-up to DeMarco’s breakthrough 2012 album “2”, which catapulted the Edmonton native into indie stardom.

Known for his laid-back, offbeat style and slacker-rock vibes, DeMarco wrote and recorded Salad Days amidst the hectic whirlwind of a rising career and relentless touring, offering listeners a deeply personal glimpse into his life during a time of significant transition.

This anniversary edition not only includes the original Salad Days album but also the Salad Days Demos, providing insight into DeMarco’s creative process and evolution as an artist.

Packaged in a unique “Chamber Of Reflection” box set, this release features holographic black vinyl, a full-color poster, and a 12-page booklet complete with DeMarco’s original tour dates, rider, previously unpublished photos, and new liner notes written by the artist himself.

Often compared to icons like Harry Nilsson, The Beach Boys, and Steely Dan, DeMarco’s signature sound is an eclectic blend of jangly guitar riffs, dreamy vocals, and lo-fi production.

As Rolling Stone described, “DeMarco channels Harry Nilsson, The Beach Boys, Steely Dan, and The Beatles, but the offbeat stoner vibes are all him.”

With praise from Pitchfork and other critics for its originality and emotional depth, Salad Days is often regarded as the defining moment in DeMarco’s career, capturing the “real-talk” wisdom of Jonathan Richman mixed with an accessible poetic dreaminess.

This 10th-anniversary edition is the perfect way to revisit *Salad Days* or experience it for the first time, capturing DeMarco at his most reflective and iconic.
