Mac Demarco Cd [upd] -

Furthermore, the physical artifact of the CD booklet offers something the streaming thumbnail cannot: context. While streaming reduces album art to a postage-stamp icon, the CD’s liner notes, lyrics, and photographs provide a tangible map to DeMarco’s world. Seeing a grainy photo of Mac making a silly face, reading a deadpan thank-you to his mother or his bandmates, or deciphering cryptic recording notes scrawled in a faux-handwritten font transforms the listening experience. It’s a reminder that these “songs” were once tracks recorded in a cramped apartment or a makeshift studio, not just data points on a server.
