Mac DeMarco on his return to the UK, protecting his purity, giving up cigarettes and new music 

got into mac for the crusty lo-fi pop songs, the silly substance-influenced attitude… stuck around for the hi-fi earthbound soundtrack outtakes & sober-headed discussions on being yourself. feel like i’m growing up with this guy

Glad to see Mac so happy & healthy. Personally I loved One Wayne G and buzzing to see Mac doing more interviews.

26:32 "I did that and now I don't have to do it anymore" a nice way to think of sobriety or quitting smoking/ drugs

How lucky is this guy that he put him self in a position where he can make what he wants and not even need to make a statement about it 😂 love you Mac ❤️

8:29 IT'S 2023 BABY LET'S KICK IT UP!

been a fan of his since 2015. super cool to see him stay true to himself

I like that Mac still rocks the 5-panel hat, the classic vans, the double front pants, the tied hoodie strings. He started that trend back in like 2014 so it’s nice to see him staying true to it even after the copycats have moved on. He’s a real dude and he always was.

had to put it on fullscreen to understand bros hair

I loved the hackney show the other week, he looked like he was having fun.

So cool to see mac doing all of these interviews lately.

21:05 talking about being sober

Saw him on the Monday. Fucking great atmosphere and performance. The man can win over an audience even playing material that not everyone was a big fan of.

I really love the fact that Mac is taking a break from songwriting/producing. I’m more of a hobbiest weekend warrior typa guy but you definitely need to take a break from writing songs to load up the experience bank

I once met this man when I was a teenager in Bangkok airport of all places. Mac was eating a pizza he’d bought with a couple of his associates/friends as I walked into the restaurant. Took me around 3 seconds as we locked eyes before realising who he was as he winked at me. Froze in total disbelief. I suppose that the wink was something of his invitation to approach, and as I did my mind was racing with a whirlwind of thoughts on what to say. The glib conversation must have lasted around 3 minutes or so but it seemed like hours as I churned out words of admiration, without trying to seem overly zealous. Ended up with him offering for a photo - totally cool guy. Afterwards I sat down with our backs oppositely facing, trying not to disturb him anymore before he left around 20 mins thereafter. Mac, I’m still a fan and thank you!

Mac is so refreshing. im so grateful for him

Seeing him live in NYC was amazing.

i was feeling awful before watching this interview but idk just listening to mac talk and how he is enjoying all that he is doing right now he just gave hopes and motivation to continuing with my stuff idk who cares about this i just wanted to say it mac voice is so soothing great he is doing so good and i hope i can see him live one day if he comes to san diego

such a great chat to listen to. Really like hearing his perspective on things and love watching the music and attitude evolve over the years. Inspirational stuff. Plus, loved how chill this setting and atmosphere was and and an excellent job on the interviewers part!

Mac, I LOVE that you're making "video gamey" music. Ever since "Some Other Ones" I had hoped you'd do some more stuff like that ♥

love this guy, glad hes doing fine even if a little different. Hope to not die without seeing him live, come back to argentina at least once mac, ill make sure to get tickets no matter what

One Wayne G is the proof this guy makes music every single day, very dedicated to his craft

Great conversation! Thank you NME

Macs hats just keep gettin higher and higher. One good ole gust o wind and that hats a goner!

I listen to one Wayne g all the time it’s the perfect interlude music to take a break from other genres

Discovered this gem of a bloke just over a week ago. Awesome guy, great musician.

ill always love mac no matter what. hes my fav

If Mac made an ambient album that sounded like his piece "todai", i'd cry😪

love this homie. health and happiness to him.

One Wayne G is my most listened to album since it came out. There's so many amazing tracks in there. I really love when he does more ambient stuff. Really sounds like he liked to listen to Brian Eno in some tracks on there. I just really love it. I hope he does more like that in the future, especially since he said that he scrapped a lot of material for OWG.

met him at a juan wauters concert very nice guy

Man, I've been a fan of Mac for about 10 years and it's wild seeing him like this. I'm so used to seeing him smoke and talk about getting fucked up. It seems like he's really living his best life right now. Happy for him.

Mac is so cool.

Não acredito nisso, Mac dando uma entrevista em 2023!! 😮 this is a dream ?

I would kill for a big tour, like his “old” tours where! Missed my chance too see him when he was in London! I only live 15 mins down the road but missed my chance to get a ticket!

looking forward to Mac back in Canada

Cool hearing your opinions on spotify

Mac demarco so freaking cool 🤗

Great interview

great interview

I remember one time mac got really drunk at a show I went to in 2017, stood on top of the piano and ate a whole pizza while still performing. this was after he tried to burn his nipple hairs off with a lighter of course. love this guy forever

yes mac, do it in mexico

Mac’s interview voice is some really soothing ASMR

Loved the interviewer--didn't talk much and asked solid, direct Qs. Mac seemed really open here, whether or not that's due to the interviewer or his lifestyle adjustment

Bro got that Julius Caesar cut

I like Mac

Oh Mac, such a sweet man. Pickles was lucky to have you

Hopefully Mac can visit Florida. Would love to hear him around this p.o.s state.

It's been 6 days, and I'm still waiting for the interview to get on the motorcycle part 😅

Congrats on quitting smoking Mac! Loved your production on Sean's Shine

mac NEEEDS his own podcast i could listen to him talk all day

come to brazil again man please

haha I love Mac's brain. One of my first thoughts while listening to One Wayne G was "I wonder if this is so he can listen to it"

My esteem for this man has shot up yet again.... One Wayne Gretzky?!? 😂❤️‍🔥🎸

Please come to Washington DC

also this interviewer did a great job

GOD he is so cute. ❤

Wiggling feet having a conversation

i worshipped this man in 2014

Come to Aussie mate

12 shows with 1500 people limit is pretty cool man

Nice interview.

Macs turning into a good ole country boy

Waiting for their feet to touch

i love alex g what a gear interview

SINGGG BB BOY

Easily my hundreth mac interview and still jus have heard only one of his tunes.

Wait…hearing that Mac DeMarco quit smoking just gave me hope and the ambition to cut the habit.

The interviewer looks like a modern young Paul McCartney (look at his face)

Let the video play and press the following keys in a sequence 4, 8, 9, 6

“We’ll see how it makes me feel”

Come back to mexico

did mac… grow up? his conversing style has changed. in a great way!

he's got an awkward, but honest generosity when he speaks. mac speaks and that's that. it is what it is.

come to aus awesome country side to tour

One Mac D

i just want to lay next to a mixing console with mac and look at the stars

yo 4 weeks ago I was having dinner outside Lardo in Hackney with my girl and I looked up some dude was standing there staring I was like 'is that Mac demarco' she said 'who?' and he ran off and now I'm seeing all this stuff like it WAS him. literally the day after I bumped into Earl Sweatshirt wandering around in Shoreditch that dude is short

7:05 he just like me 🤯🤯

Any 'Proud True Toyota' fans out there?

wanna know what gear he took around to record 5 Easy Hotdogs.

RIP Pickles 😢

"I've been saving up the juice, and it'll all come out at once"

@17:20 wow never thought Mac was a quitter

I'm almost half way through. Are their feet gonna touch?!

this is a rare example of someone with loads of money who is not horribly uncool

The way he talks is very similar to how John Mayer talks. Both the cadence and the tone of his voice

Facts Spotify needs a hifi option already

That interviewer should be immediately arrested for that haircut.

Both are well groomed and articulated.

😮

Mac is going to live to be 250 years old…

"I'd never tried to quitting smoking before... it's fUcked up" LMAO 🤣

Vob pliss

It's pretty rad if Mac has been able to stick to no cigs. I've known and beaten many addictions, including nicotine... But somehow that's the single chemical I can quit without any withdrawal. So I've quit 100 times and just keep coming back haha... It gets it's claws into you either way!

You should have asked Mac if he’s a cop?

oiy bruv noice 'eelys (heelys shoes)

Been a fan of him since 2014, love the guy and all his work. But i really miss them wild loud nonsense gigs with silly covers and crowd surfing. I guess he’s happier now, so thats all that matters ! Long live Maccy “It only smelz”

21:59 I’m 99,9% sure that the friend is Jonah Hill. He joked that joke too many times to get away incognito

Interviewer's barber be like: "Oops, Amish'd a spot."

He looks like a bartender at the Johnsons in Bushwick. Or an assistant camera man that works in film and television in nyc. Bet he keeps his keys clipped to his belt buckle and rides his fancy bike with the Jean pulled up over his chain side ankle.
