Recording

DeMarco recorded This Old Dog while moving to Los Angeles. He describes the experiences and time it took to develop and make the album:\n

\"I demoed a full album, and as I was moving to the West Coast I thought I'd get to finishing it quick. But then I realized that moving to a new city and starting a new life takes time. And it was weird, because usually I just write, record, and put it out; no problem. But this time, I wrote them and they sat. When that happens, you really get to know the songs. It was a different vibe.\"

Reception

\n\n

This Old Dog was met with positive reviews from music critics. On Metacritic, which assigns a weighted mean rating out of 100 from mainstream critics, the album got a 79 out of 100, out of 24 reviews, which indicates \"generally favorable reviews\".\n

The title track garnered the Best New Track title from Pitchfork with writer Marc Hogan calling it a \"shaggy ode to romantic constancy, come what may\".\n

In his review for the album, Mark Richardson of Pitchfork writes, \"DeMarco seems to kick back and let everything fall into place, but his music demonstrates a relentless devotion to craft, with all the fundamentals intact.\"\n
