More recently he has released “Here Comes the Cowboy” which is his most experimental album yet with a strong influence from country/ southern rock music. That year he appeared on “Hot Ones” and “Charlie Rose” especially to cover the lyrical themes in the album regarding his relationship with his father. “This Old Dog” was released in 2017 and was met with significant critical acclaim. “Some Other Ones” was an experimental album with pure instrumental music all played by him released in 2015. It was ranked third best of 2015 by “Still in Rock” magazine. In 2015, he released “Another One” which was quite a different style and had love songs. It debuted at the 30th spot on the Billboard 200 chart. He spent the rest of 2013 touring with this album, and “Salad Days” was released early 2014. Target even bought one of the songs, Moving Like Mike, from “Rock and Roll Nightclub” for one of their commercials. It wasn’t until 2012 when he was offered a record deal with independent label “Captured Tracks” and made a real breakthrough with the album “Rock and Roll Nightclub.” This album of Mac’s gave the label the confidence to push forward and the next album, “2” was an instant success. He struggled there for a time, working on road crews and participating in medical studies to make ends meet. He shortly thereafter toured with the “Japandroids” before moving to Montreal to take his music to an even greater level.

They put out “Ying Yang” in 2010 which was an important milestone for Mac as this is the point where he really finds the musical style that resonated with him and acted as a springboard to pursue the rest of his career. This work got him noticed and two individuals, at that point signed with ‘Unfamiliar Records’, named Alex Calder and Jen Clement (lead vocalist and drummer of “The Courtneys”) reached out and worked with Mac (FarOutMagazine, 2018).
He shot some psychedelic videos to go with the music seeing as the slower, trance-like sound of Heatwave was boding better with the public than his previous, less-psychedelic music. This seems to have been a good decision because with the bustling music scene there his first self-produced album Heatwave sold out its entire 500 album run. With none of these bands suiting him, he went on to create music independently especially through the means of his collaborative project “Makeout Videotape.” None of this music became popular, and after graduating High School in 2008, he moved to Vancouver to focus on music. In Highschool (Strathcona High School in Edmonton) he played on multiple (alternative) bands, most notably of which are “Meat Cleavers” which Mac describes as a “jock-rock” band and “Sound of Love” which focused on rhythm and blues music.
