Here’s a useful write-up on in FLAC format, focusing on why the album matters, its sonic qualities, and the benefits of the lossless version.

The Final Verdict: The Lonely Oasis

5. "Jonny’s Odyssey"

• FLAC moment: Mac’s voice cracks on “Let her go… let her walk out the door.” You hear the room tone between phrases—the low hum of an amplifier, the creak of a wooden chair. The piano is slightly out of tune in the upper register. Lossless audio doesn't fix this; it fetishizes it. You realize the song isn't about a break-up, but about the fear of being unable to love properly.

The krautrock detour. A motorik beat with a synth line that sounds like a dying Game Boy. In FLAC, the distortion on the synth is revealed to be two different layers: a clean sine wave and a square wave clipping the preamp. Mac DeMarco - Salad Days -2014- -FLAC-
