Mac DeMarco albums tend to be big swings. DeMarco’s wooziest, most low-key jams are the kinds of things that seem to register with kids online; TikTok gifted him with his first Hot 100 hit a couple of years ago. But DeMarco’s recent albums tend to be the kinds of deep, conceptual works that can’t be consumed so casually. In 2023, for instance, DeMarco released the instrumental LP Five Easy Hot Dogs and followed it with the 199-track surprise album One Wayne G. He’s had a string of one-off collaborations since then, and now he’s coming back with Guitar, a new full-length that he recorded entirely by himself at home.
