Mac DeMarco Announces Third Album ‘This Old Dog’ and Two New Tracks

Mac DeMarco has announced This Old Dog, his third album and first full-length since 2014’s Salad Days, on May 5th 2017 worldwide. In conjunction with today’s album announcement, DeMarco is announcing a North American tour and sharing two lead singles – “My Old Man” and “This Old Dog.”

DeMarco says, “I demoed a full album, and as I was moving to the West Coast I thought I’d get to finishing it quickly. But then I realized that moving to a new city, and starting a new life takes time. Usually I just write, record, and put it out; no problem. But this time, I wrote them and they sat. When that happens, you really get to know the songs. It was a different vibe.”

“The majority of this album is acoustic guitar, synthesizer, some drum machine, and one song is electric guitar. So this is a new thing for me.”

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.” Pre-order the album physically here and Digitally here.
