Mar 05, 2019 By Christopher Roberts Photography by Christine Lai Mac DeMarco

Mac DeMarco has announced a new album, Here Comes the Cowboy, and shared a video for its first single, “Nobody.” Here Comes the Cowboy is due out May 10th on Mac’s Record Label (that’s actually the name of his new label). DeMarco directed the “Nobody” video himself, in which he sings the song as a lizard man. Check it out below, followed by the album’s tracklist and cover art. Also below are his upcoming tour dates.

DeMarco wrote, tracked, and mixed Here Comes the Cowboy at his Jizz Jazz Studios in Los Angeles “during the first two weeks of an exceptionally rainy January, 2019.” DeMarco played almost every instrument on the album, except from some keyboards here and there by touring member Alec Meen. Joe Santarpia shares engineering and mixing duties with DeMarco.

The album cover features “a rusty old grinning pin” that “was purchased from a man in the mountains somewhere in the Nantahala National Forest between Chattanooga, TN and Asheville, NC.”

DeMarco had this to say about the album in a press release: “This one is my cowboy record. Cowboy is a term of endearment to me, I use it often when referring to people in my life. Where I grew up there are many people that sincerely wear cowboy hats and do cowboy activities. These aren’t the people I’m referring to.”

DeMarco’s last album, This Old Dog, came out in 2017. Read our review of This Old Dog.
