{"product_id":"mac-demarco-five-easy-hot-dogs-cd","title":"Mac DeMarco - Five Easy Hot Dogs [CD]","description":"\u003cp\u003eMac DeMarco's Five Easy Hot Dogs, on CD here, is a 2023 instrumental album recorded on the road, a travel diary written in chords instead of words.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eRather than settling into a studio, DeMarco set off on a long drive across North America with a portable setup and recorded as he went. Each track is named after the place where it came together, from Gualala on the California coast to Chicago and Rockaway. Fans expecting his woozy, wisecracking pop songs got something quieter and more personal.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eGualala opens with soft, unhurried guitar and a hint of melancholy. Crescent City has a gentle, rolling feel, like watching coastline slide past a window, while Vancouver and its follow-up variations circle around small melodic ideas with warm keys and lightly brushed rhythm. Rockaway closes the set on a contented, homeward note.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eNothing here is in a hurry. The tones are soft and slightly worn, the arrangements spare, and the whole thing works beautifully in the background while rewarding close attention whenever you lean in. Small details, a stray chord change or a wobbly synth line, keep surfacing on repeat listens.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt is a record about motion and solitude, and a quietly brave left turn from an artist who could easily have kept making the same album twice.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Alliance Entertainment","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57439082840369,"sku":"842812181771","price":14.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0704\/2026\/7313\/files\/1200x1200bb_9980c5d3-4371-46af-af8b-86eb92933d36.jpg?v=1794152018","url":"https:\/\/vinyl.com\/products\/mac-demarco-five-easy-hot-dogs-cd","provider":"Vinyl.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
