Mac DeMarco will release This Old Dog, his third album and first full-length since 2014’sSalad Days, on May 5th 2017 via Captured Tracks.
Following the release of lead singles,“My Old Man” and “This Old Dog,” a pair of songs that immediately show a new sonic direction and the personal nature of the record, Mac offers up the self-directed video for the latter, filmed in his new hometown of Los Angeles. He describes it as such: “A devoted dog discovers the meaning of its own existence through the lives of the humans it teaches to laugh and love. Reincarnated as multiple canines over the course of five decades, the lovable pooch develops an unbreakable bond with a kindred spirit named Ethan. As the boy grows older and comes to a crossroad, the dog once again comes back into his life to remind him of his true self.”
Following an intimate solo show at London’s Nambucca on March 1st, Mac (guitar, vocals) along with his band – Jon Lent (bass, percussion), Joe McMurray (drums) Alec Meen (keys) and Andy White (guitar) – will tour Europe and North America surrounding the release of This Old Dog. With many shows selling out in hours, second nights have been added in London, Montreal, Toronto, Washington, D.C. and Vancouver. The May 31stdate at London’s 02 Academy Brixton is now sold out, with a very limited number of tickets available for the May 30th show here. Additionally, Mac is playing a slew of festivals throughout the spring and summer including Coachella, Primavera Sound, Oya, Lollapalooza, Governor’s Ball, as well as a headline slot at End Of The Road.
Mac DeMarco’s This Old Dog is available for pre-order now. All iTunes pre-orders come with Instrumentals of This Old Dog and instant grat downloads of lead singles, “My Old Man,” and “This Old Dog.”
