Yes, Alex Calder's debut EP for Captured Tracks may sound near-identical to the music of his ex-bandmate Mac DeMarco, but Time's twenty minutes' worth of tracks are well-executed enough that listeners into this very particular (and peculiar) vein of chiming, jangly guitar pop are not likely to hold that against him in the least.

"If you think that the thin riff on Alex Calder's 'Suki and Me' sounds similar to Mac DeMarco, you've got a good ear. Calder drummed for DeMarco's defunct project Makeout Videotape, and both artists have a way of making everything sound just slightly off, like you're uncovering a home recording from the 1970s that's been eroding in an attic for too long." - Pitchfork
