User Album Review
As the title suggests, DeMarco’s third solo effort is much lighter on the palette than his previous releases, in terms of that endearing sleaziness evident in his live shows and ever present on his past records. There are even moments which almost sound tropical and fun. Fear not though, DeMarco still puts the cool back in the cigarette, happily manipulates his old beat up guitar through seemingly effortless valleys of picking and plucking, and grounds us all with his unpretentious prose.
Throughout DeMarco’s young career his music has a way of reaching out to his audience and inviting them along for the journey, be it immoral or reflective. Salad Days falls in the latter category and stands as a reminder that even a resident goofball can mature. The record also proves that maturity does not mean creative death – this is a complete album and in many ways his best. --- thelineofbestfit.com
