Mac DeMarco

The charming slacker of indie rock

Mac DeMarco is a Canadian singer-songwriter, multi-instrumentalist and producer known for his laid-back sound, unconventional style and quirky charisma. Since his breakthrough with the album 2 In 2012, DeMarco became a permanent fixture on the indie scene. His music combines elements of lo-fi, psychedelic rock, soft rock and jangle pop - often carried by dreamy guitar riffs, analogue synths and a nostalgic atmosphere.

What makes him special is his unmistakable DIY character: DeMarco records many of his songs in his home studio and remains true to the principle of keeping everything as unpolished and personal as possible. Albums like Salad Days, This Old Dog or Here Comes the Cowboy show his ability to convey great emotions with simple instrumentation - often with a pinch of self-irony and melancholy.

Despite (or perhaps because of) his slacker image, Mac DeMarco has built up a loyal fanbase. His live shows are known for their relaxed atmosphere, spontaneous jams and quirky moments. He is an artist who does not allow himself to be bent and thus hits the nerve of those who are looking for authenticity and a little pinch of chaos in their music.
