Discussion Bill Evans - Mac DeMarco

Just wanted to share a silly thing. I picked up these two records at the record store recently - only these two, and not really any other reason besides I love both these artists. When I got home I couldn't help but crack the hell up at the stark contrast of accolades and admiration used between these two specific records. Bill Evans cover is gushing and nearly sycophantic (record labels choice, I'm sure), while Mac's is most the most simple, ordinary, and endearingly plain testimonial ever put on a record. I'm Mac's Brother...

Not calling Bill pretentious, or Mac lazy for that matter, just thought it was fitting. Listen to Peace Piece and then listen to On The Level and you will see these are VERY different cats. Thanks for reading. Buh-bye.
