![]() “There are a lot of people that want me to just make ‘Salad Days’ over and over and over again,” he said. He built a steady following after he released his second full-length studio album, “Salad Days,” but said he doesn’t feel pressure to recreate the same kind of sound that led to his ascent. Instead, DeMarco rode his motorcycle to downtown Los Angeles from his home a few miles away, sporting a solid blue hoodie with his keys and a keychain which reads “Millionaire in Training” hanging around his neck.Īnd while DeMarco was confused by the question about his missing entourage, the musician conceded that he has reached a surprising level of fame. Missing were the combination of publicists, managers and hair and makeup people that often trail stars to interviews. He showed up for his interview with The Associated Press in the most unfussy way possible. He has become synonymous with his DIY-ethos and his proselytization of analog recording methods. Paste Magazine summed it up: “There’s a Tender Album Hidden Inside Mac DeMarco’s One Wayne G, But It’ll Take You Nine Hours to Find It.”ĭeMarco made a name for himself as a singer, songwriter and multi-instrumentalist known for his laid-back style of music. The scope of the album is daunting, but listeners have found rewards in all those tracks. So, I was like, ‘Well, I’m going to put out like nine hours and most of it won’t have song titles. “People are making music for TikTok or really short songs and there’s like 9,000 writers on a pop song. The album arrived roughly three months after “Five Easy Hot Dogs,” a collection of instrumental songs he recorded during a road trip and is particularly proud of.īut more than just a way to get unreleased and some seemingly unfinished songs off his chest, the 33-year-old saw “One Wayne G” as an opportunity to subvert expectations of what releasing an album nowadays should look like. And that’s essentially what ‘One Wayne G’ is, you know, five years of me,” he said. He drew the cover art himself as a finishing touch to the personal project. The album is a window into DeMarco’s creative process, as well as his extensive range as an artist.
