Mac DeMarco announces summer US/Canada tour, shares new video imbued with creep-magic

·

A new era is upon us. The old ways no longer make sense. The stars no longer chart our courses. A new animal had to be added to the Chinese Zodiac, that’s how CRAZY shit is getting. That new animal is gap-toothed rock ‘n’ roll charmer Mac DeMarco, the Montreal weirdo pop madman who has been steadily conquering the supple, pliant, silky eardrums of music fans everywhere, a man who’s basically the living, walking, breathing embodiment of a Tiger Beat cover from Hell. He’s partying with snakes and tigers and rats and what-have-you, turning fortune cookies into cookie DUST with one fateful strum of his guitar. And now this wild, flannel-loving genius is coming to a town near you, and you, and YOU! Yes, even you, Saskatchewan. It is a new era indeed.

Mac’s hitting the road this summer for an epic US/Canada tour, featuring stops at Halifax, Nova Scotia’s OBEY Festival, Tennessee’s Bonnaroo, Calgary’s Sled Island Festival, Quebec City’s Summer Festival (someone take me to this, it sounds Frenchified and wonderful), and wrapping up at Chicago’s Pitchfork Fest. Dude just finished a huge tour with Phoenix, so you know his tourin’ shoes are still tap-tap-tapping at the door to get out again. Until that first June tour date, however, fans will have the creepy magic of the Alex Lill-directed video for “My Kind of Woman” to keep them warm (or chilled, depending on how you respond to DeMarco’s crazed Joker eyes and spidery mascara.)
