Mac DeMarco by Kiera McNally
Mac DeMarco will release it digitally on January 20th.
Mac DeMarco will document his travels around North America during the course of 2022 on the new instrumental album Five Easy Hot Dogs.
“Some places I stayed longer in than others, some of them I knew from the past, others not so much,” DeMarco said.
“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.”
“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.”
