Mac DeMarco announces his new album, Guitar, will be released August 22nd via Mac’s Record Label and unveils the lead single/video, “Home.”
Guitar was written and recorded in its entirety in November 2024 at Mac’s home in Los Angeles. Except for the mastering, which was handled by David Ives, Mac created and handled all aspects of this record on his own, including mixing the album in Canada, and shooting the music videos and album artwork on tripods. Mac comments, “I think Guitar is as close to a true representation of where I’m at in my life today as I can manage to put to paper. I’m happy to share this music, and look forward to playing these songs as many places as I’m able.”
Mac describes his new single, “Home,” as “a song I wrote at my home in Los Angeles about what home means to me.” He sings: “These days I’d much rather be on my own // No more walking those streets //That I once called my home // Because down every lane there are // Faces and names // That have memories attached // That I’d sooner let go // Sooner than I’d go home again.” Mac shot the song’s accompanying video while canoeing near his mom’s new home in Canada.
