Guitar

"Guitar" is the sixth studio album by Canadian indie lo-fi icon Mac DeMarco, set to release on August 22, 2025, under his own label, Mac DeMarco, LLC. Clocking in at a concise 31 minutes, this album is a testament to Mac's introspective songwriting and minimalist approach, with all 12 tracks written, performed, and recorded entirely by Mac himself between November 16th-28th, 2024.

The album opens with the shimmering "Shining" and continues to explore themes of reflection and hope, as seen in the endearing and affecting songs like "Sweeter" and "Home." Mac DeMarco's signature warm, easy-going sound is present throughout, offering a comforting balance to the familiar feelings of anxiety that permeate the album. Tracks like "Nightmare" and "Terror" delve into the wreckage of his past, while others, such as "Nothing At All" and "Holy," imagine a sweeter future.

"Guitar" showcases Mac DeMarco's ability to strip his sound down to its barest elements, creating an intimate and raw listening experience. The album's minimalist approach, while not his strongest suit, adds a unique vulnerability to his music. With "Guitar," Mac DeMarco invites you to explore the complexities of his inner world, all wrapped up in his signature lo-fi indie sound.
