Music News - Mac DeMarco Announces New Zealand Tour
19 October 2015 - 0 Comments
100% Good, Oldies & Flying Out Present Mac
DeMarco's first New Zealand tour, January 2016.
Like the days of Steely Dan, Harry
Nilsson or Prince releasing a classic every
year (or less) comes Mac DeMarco's Another One,
a mini-LP announced almost one year to the date of the meteorically successful Salad
Days. Conceived and recorded entirely by himself in a short
period between a relentless tour schedule at his new place in Far Rockaway,
Queens, Another One is eight freshly written songs, expanding
the arsenal of Mac's already impressive catalogue. There’s a bittersweet,
romantic sensibility present. The overall feeling is lost love, or perhaps love
never found, yet Mac embraces this without making it an overly sombre
experience for the listener. It’s at times haunting and warm, and a bit more
refined and sophisticated, but still plenty playful, retaining the guts and
soul of classic Mac.
With two full-length albums and two EPs released and hundreds of sold out shows performed in the last several years, a recent late night television debut on Conan following a special guest performance on The Eric Andre Show, it seems as Mac DeMarco nears his 25th birthday, he’s outgrowing any sort of slacker stigma. This summer, Mac will play festivals all over the country, including Shaky Knees, Austin Psych Fest, Pitchfork Music Festival, Outside Lands, Bonnaroo, Solid Sound and more. As expected, he’ll continue to tour extensively in support of Another One, further connecting with his ever-inspired fan base, whether in New York City, Tel Aviv, Brazil or Australia.
New Zealanders who attended this years Laneway Festival will likely remember Mac’s set an early highlight of the event, all songs (even the dreamiest cuts from Salad Days) subtly retooled to better suit the festival environment - a lesson that so often goes ignored by Mac’s contemporaries. Mac de Marco is no flash in the pan. He’s here for the long haul, and he’s here to prove it.
