Mac DeMarco - Here Comes the Cowboy

Mac DeMarco is a singer-songwriter from Edmonton, Alberta. Shortly after finishing high school in 2008, DeMarco moved from his hometown to Vancouver and released Heat Wave, a collection of songs he wrote and recorded while bored in his new surroundings.

His fourth album, Here Comes the Cowboy, is filled with mellow tracks and visually captivating videos.

DeMarco said in an interview that he “wanted to make something greasy” and this song proves just that. “But I think anybody that actually had some funk to them would be like, ‘What the f*** is this, Mac?'”

Aaron Dessner Sets the Record Straight on Gracie Abrams’ ‘Death Wish’: It’s ‘Definitely Not’ About Taylor Swift

The producer also shared how he ended up performing with Noah Kahan over the weekend.

Aaron Dessner and Gracie Abrams have now made three albums together, with the pop star’s third studio effort, Daughter From Hell, arriving July 17. But one song in particular has stirred up a few misconceptions, and in a recent conversation with Billboard, the producer cleared them up.

Hopping on a Zoom call on Tuesday (July 21) — just days after joining Noah Kahan on stage in New York to perform one of The Great Divide songs he produced, a cameo that severe weather almost ruined — Dessner addressed confusion over the production and subject of “Death Wish,” one of the most talked-about tracks on Daughter From Hell. Some listeners have expressed surprise that the spritely album version sounds so different from the somber live piano version Abrams initially recorded and released amid her Secret of Us Tour, questioning why the duo would “change” the “original.” (Spoiler alert: They didn’t.)
