10 Perfect Rock Albums For Summer 2022
9. Mac DeMarco: 2 (2012)
Chances are you're going to want something a little more laidback for certain summer occasions: they'll be those days you want to listlessly cycle around town, maybe have a beach BBQ, or simply a lazy walk around the neighbourhood. The reigning king of slacker-rock has you covered in any such scenario.
Mac DeMarco's 2 is the perfect blend of reverb-soaked guitar melodies and easygoing musings. Once DeMarco's unassuming demeanour starts seeping through your headphones, all memories of winter will be dispersed and you'll start adopting a carefree meander.
"Cooking Up Something Good" will have you fondly remembering your own childhood. The jaunty "Freaking Out The Neighbourhood" will put a kick in your step, and "Still Together" will be the soundtrack to your summer romance.
Mac DeMarco comes with a warning though. Excessive listening can result in wearing flannel shirts, baggy chinos and dirty Vans - you might also develop a hankering for Viceroy cigarettes. If you notice any of these symptoms occurring in yourself or others, it's best to dose them up with a helping of one of the more upbeat entires on this list .
