Mac DeMarco has released a new song, ‘Phantom’, the third and final preview of his forthcoming sixth album, ‘Guitar’, set to drop this Friday (22nd August) out via Mac’s Record Label.
The track follows lead single ‘Home’ and second single ‘Holy’, the latter arriving last month. ‘Guitar’ was written and recorded in November 2024 at DeMarco’s home in Los Angeles, with the artist handling all creative aspects apart from mastering by David Ives. DeMarco shot the artwork himself, featuring him and his dog, and mixed the record in Canada.
“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 said, announcing the LP. “I’m happy to share this music, and look forward to playing these songs as many places as I’m able.”
It follows 2023’s ‘Five Easy Hot Dogs’ and the compilation ‘One Wayne G’. DeMarco has also recently appeared on a benefit album supporting those affected by the Los Angeles wildfires alongside King Gizzard & The Lizard Wizard, The War On Drugs, and My Morning Jacket’s Jim James.
