Riff: Mac DeMarco – “Robson Girl”

Jan 9, 2013

No one else’s shoulder/I felt could be colder/Loving on the sidelines/Just one straight on my mind

from Robson Girl lyrics by Mac DeMarco

Mac DeMarco keeps an organic base to his stock, and in just a few simple verses a remarkable amount of flavor manages to break through. Here he melts away into a memory like a chunk of wrought iron. But what separates him from others is the even disposition in which it all unfolds.
