Stream the second lifting from DeMarco’s forthcoming Here Comes The Cowboy.
Mac DeMarco has shared the second single from his forthcoming album Here Comes The Cowboy.
The languid and affecting ‘All Of Our Yesterdays’ premiered during Zane Lowe’s Beats 1 radio show and displays a continuity in the country-lilted stylistic tendencies of its predecessor ‘Nobody’.
Tune in and read an accompanying statement that elaborates on the inspiration behind the album cut below.
“Hi everybody, Mac here.
Here’s my new song, it’s called ‘All Of Our Yesterdays.’ This was the first song I wrote in the sequence of songs that appear on my new record. Most of the rest of the songs were written in November right before we went on tour in Europe, but this one’s probably from about seven or eight months before that. I left it sitting with only one verse done for a long time, then finished it up while I was writing the rest of the record.
The phrase ‘all of our yesterdays’ comes from the play Macbeth. Also I think there’s a Star Trek episode from 1969 with the same title; very cool. I had just seen a documentary about Oasis before writing this song, and I was trying to write a gigantic rock and roll hit with my renewed love for the band. I didn’t really get close to that at all, but I’m happy with the song that came out hahahahaha.
I hope you enjoy, have a nice day. See ya later.”
Here Comes The Cowboy releases via Mac’s Record Label on May 10th.
