Mac DeMarco just dropped his fourth studio album, Here Comes the Cowboy. The album initially raised a few eyebrows given the title’s similarity Mitski’s 2018 album, Be the Cowboy, but both musicians chalked it up to a coincidence. DeMarco’s lead single “Nobody” hit No. 47 on Billboard’s US Rock chart in March.
The recording process was a bare-bones operation as the Canadian musician played most of the instruments on the album–except for the occasional appearance by touring keyboard player Alec Meen. DeMarco also said in a statement that his “travelling sound man” Yakitori Santar helped put the album together.
“This one is my cowboy record,” DeMarco said in a statement. “Cowboy is a term of endearment to me, I use it often when referring to people in my life. Where I grew up, there are many people that sincerely wear cowboy hats and do cowboy activities. These aren’t the people I’m referring to.”
