Mac DeMarco to Release New Instrumental Album Later This Month
Indie rock golden child Mac DeMarco has announced that new album of instrumental recordings is soon incoming. The typically silly titled Five Easy Hot Dogs will arrive on digital platforms on January 20th, with the vinyl addition to follow on May 12th.
DeMarco shared that the songs were all written and recorded during a road trip from his Los Angeles home to a cabin in Utah, with each song named after the city in which it was recorded.
He elaborated:
“Some places I stayed longer in than others, some of them I knew from the past, others not so much. I tried to keep things busy all the time. If I didn’t know what was up in a city, I’d just walk around ‘til someone recognized me and go from there. I met a lot of interesting people this way, and had a bunch of cool experiences.”
Further elaborating on the Utah cabin he eventually arrived at, as well as the writing process, he shared:
"It probably could have slept about 20 people, but instead it was just me withdrawing from nicotine with a bunch of taxidermy animals all over the place. No other humans for probably 50 miles in any direction. Horrible idea. I lasted one night and went back to Los Angeles the next day,” he says. “When I first got back home, I felt as though I had given up on my idea and failed to finish what I was trying to do. But that’s all dog shit.
The nature of ripping around and recording and traveling in this manner doesn’t lend well to sitting around and planning or thinking about what it was that I was setting out to do. I didn’t ever have a sound in mind, or a theme or anything, I would just start recording. Luckily the collection of recordings from this period all shake hands, they have a present musical identity as a whole. I was in it while I was in it, and this is what came out of it, just the way it was.
This record sounds like what rolling around like that feels like. I hope you enjoy."
