Mac DeMarco announces new LP 'Here Comes the Cowboy,' shares "Nobody"

“This one is my cowboy record,” says Mac DeMarco of his just-announced new album. “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.” Mac’s new album, the first for his own record label, is titled Here Comes the Cowboy and will be out May 10. The first single is “Nobody” and the video for the song stars Mac as perhaps a cowboy but one who is also a lizard-man in a bathrobe. Watch that below.

Mac will be on tour starting with a pre-Coachella show in Los Angeles, and he’ll be in NYC to play a big BRIC Celebrate Brooklyn! Festival show in Prospect Park on August 6 (tickets). Updated tour dates are listed below.

In case you noticed the similarity between this album title and Mitski’s 2018 album Be the Cowboy and its biggest single “Nobody,” Mac’s rep insists it was coincidental and said Mac had not heard Mitski’s album prior to naming his own. Mitski laughed it off and said “haha! I’m 100% sure mac & I just went fishing in the same part of the collective unconscious! What’s wild is we have the same PR, so I LOVE my personal conspiracy theory that she heard the album+track titles but kept quiet thinking maybe some Mac fans will mistakenly find me loll.”
