Mac DeMarco has frequently been cited as the last indie rock star. Now onto his 10th record – and his first since 2023's One Wayne G – the aptly-titled Guitar is, as per the artist's own description, “a true representation” of where the king of lo-fi, spacey sounds is at today – and that includes a reflection on DeMarco's unwavering DIY-through-and-through ethos.
“I used to play this old piece-of-shit guitar,” he tells The New Yorker. “That was my style of fixing back in the day: ‘Oh, I found a piece of siding in an alley, and I’ll use it as the pick guard.’ I needed that guitar or I couldn’t do my show.”
