The atmosphere smoothens again with вЂњOne More Love Song,вЂќ a keys-driven ballad, and, yes, more of that jizz-jazz vibe.

вЂњA Wolf Who Wears Sheeps ClothesвЂќ is upbeat with a ska-like feel, plus harmonica and more of those claves sounds. вЂњDreams From YesterdayвЂќ has a prominent claves part and literally sounds as though itвЂ™s being performed live, delicately, just inches away. The stripped down вЂњSisterвЂќ rests in the middle of the album and features raw and tender vocals with simple strumming, sans percussion. He sings thatВ better days are ahead in a richly-filled chorus, вЂњItвЂ™s not like you never tried to forget her / but these days are better without one another.вЂќ вЂњStill BeatingвЂќ is another song about relationships past:вЂќHoney my heart still beats for you / even though you donвЂ™t feel it,вЂќ Demarco sings dryly. In вЂњOne Another,вЂќ Demarco returns to a familiar sound from Another One and Salad Days, which make liberal use of slide guitar and have a homegrown feel. Shimmering synths enter in вЂњFor the First Time,вЂќ which could only be best described in DemarcoвЂ™s words himself as вЂњjizz-jazz.вЂќ вЂњItвЂ™s just like seeing her / for the first time / again,вЂќ he laments about a lover. The album moves along with the more upbeat вЂњBaby YouвЂ™re Out,вЂќ which picks up the pace and starts to fill in the sound, adding percussive textures and warped octaves.

вЂњThis Old DogвЂќ follows in similar fashion, the theme of getting older remaining constant as he sings, вЂњThis old dog / ainвЂ™t about to forget / all weвЂ™ve had and all thatвЂ™s next / as long as my heartвЂ™s beating in my chest / this old dog / ainвЂ™t about to forget,вЂќ which, at a mere 26 years of age, can seem a little sombering, but knowing DemarcoвЂ™s personality, itвЂ™s most likely a half joke-half truth, similar to asking someone whether heвЂ™s laughing or crying right now. вЂњOh no / looks like / IвЂ™m seeing more of my old man in me,вЂќ he sings in the chorus to strumming acoustic guitar and a steady electro drum beat. The album opens with вЂњMy Old Man,вЂќ in which Demarco invites the listener to look into his reflection, in which he sees himself slowly becoming his father -В a man with whom he most likely has a strenuous relationship.

Demarco also opts for more synth sounds, which drive tracks like the romantic вЂњFor the First TimeвЂќ and the chill вЂњOn The Level.вЂќ An acoustic, intimate sound is also preferred, which is why Mac never sounds more than a few feet away. On this album, serious songwriting and somber lyrics about relationships and getting older take a front seat.
