The artist carries house slippers and sits on the sofa, he holds his guitar in his hand, next to him the dog on a blanket – this is how Mac Demarco already tells the history of Guitar on the album cover. Here it becomes personally, he created the song collection in his house in Los Angeles within a few days in November 2024, completely on his own from songwriting to mixing to artwork.
Recommendations of the editorial team
After the instrumental album Five Easy Hot Dogs and the 199-track LO-FI madness One Wayne G with more than nine hours of play (both 2023), Demarco comes to rest in the new songs and calm. The pre -track “Home” rolls out the field in the video: it is about this his time and home, Demarco sings alone, the current status of his choice, and the end of a friendship. The ducks and geese in the film move in a slow motion, “deceleration” is written very fat above this song.
De Marco shows, he says himself, where he is in life, performed with guitar, bass and drums in the completely unpretentious homerecordings sound, his voice smells gently in the ear ends, she sometimes strokes and shattered (“Sweeter”, “Nothing at all”). These 12 songs have a decidedly deceptive effect, with Mac Demarco we can dream on open road in 2025 (but only in the traffic -calmed area on our own front door).
