Mac DeMarco announces new album ‘Guitar’ with the sweetly nostalgic single ‘Home’
Mac DeMarco has announced his new album ‘Guitar’ and shared the lead single ‘Home’ – check it out below.
The Canadian singer-songwriter will release his sixth studio album and follow-up to 2023’s ‘Five Easy Hot Dogs’ and the compilation ‘One Wayne G‘ on August 22 via Mac’s Record Label and you can pre-order it here.
DeMarco will be touring around the UK and Europe in November, in between strings of North American dates, and he has also now announced a lengthy set of dates for 2026, all of which you can see below.
‘Home’ is a sweetly nostalgic track, with DeMarco’s trademark languid vocal delivery matching the song’s gentle, finger-picked guitar style. Watch the video, which sees DeMarco in a rowing boat on a chilly-looking lake near his mother’s home in Canada, here:
DeMarco has described ‘Home’ as “a song I wrote at my home in Los Angeles about what home means to me”.
‘Guitar’ was written and recorded in November 2024 at DeMarco’s Los Angeles home. “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,” he has said. “I’m happy to share this music, and look forward to playing these songs as many places as I’m able.”
In addition to an already-announced slew of dates around the US in September, Europe in October, the UK and Ireland in November and Canada in December, DeMarco has also now added a set of dates for 2026 in Japan, Hong Kong and the US. Find UK tickets here and US and European tickets here.
