Mac DeMarco - Rock and Roll Night Club

For the last few years I’ve been trumpeting the work of Canadian art rock outfit Makeout Videotape (see: here, here, here) as one of the most original up-and-coming voices in indie music.  Mac’s decided to make some changes, going solo slash rebranding, signing to Captured Tracks and mellowing out his sound to sexxxxed-up androgynous hip thrusters like this. I feel like I’m watching a Jim Jarmusch film when I listen to this song - though Mac told me in self-deprecating humility, “it’s so funny to me everyone likes it so much, since I just recorded these songs as a joke album when I had tonsilitis last month haha.” Dare I say, ‘stay sick, bro!’

Look for the currently-titled Rock and Roll Night Club EP on Captured Tracks in March.
