Mac DeMarco has announced This Old Dog, his third album and first full-length since 2014’s Salad Days, on May 5th 2017 worldwide. In conjunction with today’s album announcement, DeMarco is announcing a North American tour and sharing two lead singles – “My Old Man” and “This Old Dog.”
DeMarco says, “I demoed a full album, and as I was moving to the West Coast I thought I’d get to finishing it quickly. But then I realized that moving to a new city, and starting a new life takes time. Usually I just write, record, and put it out; no problem. But this time, I wrote them and they sat. When that happens, you really get to know the songs. It was a different vibe.”
“The majority of this album is acoustic guitar, synthesizer, some drum machine, and one song is electric guitar. So this is a new thing for me.”
