Laid-back rocker Mac DeMarco is back with a new album, Guitar, out August 22 via Mac's Record Label. This LP sees DeMarco doing a return to form with a batch of 12 new songs. This is a stark contrast to his previous album One Wayne G that featured a staggering 199 songs.

The artist has also shared "Home", the album's first single. Listen below:

Guitar was written at DeMarco's home in LA back in November 2024. He helmed the project almost entirely on his own, save for the mastering, which was done by David Ives. DeMarco mixed the record in Canada, and filmed the music videos and album art on his own.

This new album came from a scrapped recording of another album. The Salad Days artist had this to say on the album:

"I had written and recorded another record in the first half of November, but during the process of re recording the demos I decided to stop and start over. That record is called Hear The Music. 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."

Along with this announcement, DeMarco has also announced a bunch of new tour dates. Supporting him on the tour are musicians from his own label Macʼs Record Label: Mock Media, Tex Crick, Daryl Johns and Vicky Farewell. Find those dates down below.
