10 Most Innovative Rock Acts Of The 2010s

Mac 'Marmite' DeMarco... , you either love him or you hate him. Whatever your opinion is on this guy, you have to appreciate the way he's been able to carve out a unique sound that is unmistakably his.

Going back to move forward, would be the way to describe DeMarco's approach to making music. Instead of pulling in the most cutting edge of recording technology, DeMarco stripped things down with vintage analogue tape decks and a bunch of second hand instruments, all in various states or repair.
