Mac DeMarco opens up about his anxiety, alcoholism, #MeToo, LA life and Mitski controversy. He speaks openly about his music and what it means to him, what his music will continue to tell, about his life. And all the of what the new album is about.
Reflecting on life, growing up. It’s always growing up with me. I’m stuck. Maybe it’s because I’m not a good lyricist but I keep it vague. With other music, I’ve always thought that if it’s vague enough that I can layer it onto my life, it’s cool. I try to do that. This is what came out.

With the release of “Nobody” fans were confused as to what the music video was trying to say, or make them feel. The controversy spiralled too when it was found out that Mac’s new Album ‘Here comes the Cowboy’ is similar too Mitski’s new album titled ‘Be the Cowboy’ with a song titled ‘Nobody’. Yes, of course its a coincidence, in a world with so much things like this can happen. And Mac denied any ‘controversy’ or ‘trolling’.
No. For some reason, I felt like Mitski would be chill with it, which she was. I talked to her for a while – we were texting yesterday. She had the same outlook. I was like, “It’s so crazy that it’s a similar title.” I don’t show anybody my record ’til I hand it in. By that time, I just said: “This is the title; this will be the first single.”
I didn’t know that one of her singles was ‘Nobody’ ’til two days ago. My manager told me and I thought, ‘Whoa, weird.’ Even if I had known, I don’t think I would’ve changed it. I didn’t think people were gonna run with it that far. It’s ridiculous. It’s just music. Mitski’s song and my song sound eons different. Most of the people talking about it didn’t even listen to my song. With music today, [it seems] a lot of it isn’t about music.
