It’s nothing if not a spectacle.Īround four years ago there was, for a short time around the release of his breakthrough record Salad Days, a weird sort of lull at Mac DeMarco shows, particularly when it came to audience enthusiasm. The main support, meanwhile, comes from the highly divisive Orange County duo The Garden, who oscillate wildly between doomy hip-hop, vicious punk and what’s probably best described as a thoroughly dystopian take on synth-pop. The undercard is a peculiar affair, with the Canadian’s tourmate Jackie Cohen afforded a last-minute slot her lo-fi, genre-bending wonky pop complements the headliner neatly, as do the 70s stylings of local boy Aldous RH, who delivers a set so laid-back that it’s practically horizontal. On paper, then, this is a carefully-curated celebratory show, with an extended line-up and late curfew, but in truth DeMarco has packed the place out on his own.
