Mac Demarco has released a new video for “On The Square.” The track is off his forthcoming release Here Comes The Cowboy, available May 10th via Mac’s Record Label/Royal Mountain Records. “On The Square.” The track follows “All Of Our Yesterdays.” De Marco, plays his next show on May 7th in Sonoma, CA.

The video was directed by William Sipos and Sean Campos and stars Tommy Midnight. “This video has been my most intimate experience with milk yet,” says Sipos. “At one point I had Mac in a latex mask, shivering in a kiddie pool filled with cold milk. I did not feel like a nice person.”

The follow up to 2017’s This Old Dog, Here Comes The Cowboy was written, tracked and mixed at DeMarco’s Jizz Jazz Studios in Los Angeles during the first two weeks of January. Nearly every instrument on the album was played by DeMarco, aside from keyboards on select tracks by touring member and close friend Alec Meen. Traveling sound engineer, Joe Santarpia, helped shape the record, sharing engineering and mixing duties with DeMarco. The title is inspired by DeMarco’s use of “cowboy” as a term of endearment for close friends. “I use it often when referring to people in my life,” says DeMarco.
