The glancing references to personal troubles that appeared on songs like вЂњFreaking Out the NeighborhoodвЂќ were brought to the forefront of DeMarcoвЂ™s songwriting. But while 2 was an honest record, it was lighthearted, and any discussion of the darker side of DeMarcoвЂ™s story was left implied.Д«ut with his sophomore release, Salad Days, DeMarco dipped his toes a bit deeper into the muck. Part of the appeal of 2 was that it felt so intimate вЂ“ the songs shimmered with a warmth, casualness, and humor that played like you were sprawled on a beaten couch in a close friendвЂ™s garage, listening to the guys jam and goof off. вЂњDaddyвЂ™s in the basement, cooking up something fine / While RickвЂ™s out on the pavement, flipping it for dimes / If thereвЂ™s anything redeeming, I havenвЂ™t seen it yet / And IвЂ™m still up at midnight, chewing nicorette.вЂќ

A thin blanket of melancholy rests just over some of his best work, like a layer black ice on a sidewalk thatвЂ™s invisible and ready to bust your ass if you stumble into it unprepared.ДЄs early as вЂњCookinвЂ™ Up SomethinвЂ™ GoodвЂќ on his breakthrough album 2, DeMarco was singing about a dysfunctional home life, but with a rubbery cheeriness as if he was in вЂњThe Brady BunchвЂќ. He is, by his own admission, a regular guy who likes to sing about regular stuff.Д®xcept, beyond the surface-level shenanigans that have come to define him to many, there have always been hints that there is more to the man than his stage presence. HeвЂ™s charming, in a goofy, off-kilter, gap-toothed kind of way. His live sets are littered with inside jokes, heвЂ™s liable to play a jangly AC/DC cover at any moment, and he looks like he just climbed out of sleeping bag in a cave.
