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
ME too, exactly.
He’s had a great arch! His music matured with him and it’s beautiful
Glad to see Mac so happy & healthy. Personally I loved One Wayne G and buzzing to see Mac doing more interviews.
He has heaps of makeup on to cover his rash. Poor guy.
@@OM-fc2sp why does he have a rash on face?
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
8:29 IT'S 2023 BABY LET'S KICK IT UP!
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 ❤️
been a fan of his since 2015. super cool to see him stay true to himself

@@funlittlefishthey’re not similar
really?? i think they are super similar lol@@Diakoidris
been listening to Mac since 2017.. I’ve heard My Kind Of Woman for the first time.. I hated it at first, but it stuck to me listening to it more and more.. there isn’t really quite like him
I have to admit that I discovered him like last year when I was 16, so I’m kind off a kiddie and I also only heard his most famous songs back then. But I’m just so obsessed with his music recently, like in every song there are some tunes or lyrics to vibe and sing along to.
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.
@@mattmcnickNah Mac’s style was obviously influential. He wasn’t the first person to ever wear those things, but he definitely made them trend. You’re talking about subculture I’m talking the mainstream. People who don’t give a shit about board sports were dressing like this because of Mac.
@@mattmcnick Mac is undeniably the guy who brought this look into the mainstream. Mac took skate outfits and made them hipster somehow.
lol. snowboarders were rocking that look in 2011
He dresses like all my sisters friends in 2003
I'm a huge fan of Mac, but he didn't come close to "starting" the look lol
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
Nails on heads man, as an artist I couldn’t agree more- I think your comment made me shed light and accept the lack of tracks I’ve made the last few months and not look at it so negatively. So thank you.
didnt expect to relate so much to some comments on yt. I always beat myself up when I go through periods where im not drawn to creating music for some time, but every time it happens it doesn't take long for me to get all jazzed up about it again randomly. Creating is definitely an act from the heart, so its good to be aware of the fact that you don't need to force yourself to make stuff when you arent feeling it in the moment
Seeing him live in NYC was amazing.
Great interview
Mac is so refreshing. im so grateful for him
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
great interview
had to put it on fullscreen to understand bros hair
i thought he was wearing a hat
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.
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, 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 ♥
One Wayne G is the proof this guy makes music every single day, very dedicated to his craft
Yup, but I liked when he was making songs
@@Alix777. you need money for that, nobody signing him.
@@remasher Imagine thinking Mac de Marco being poor lol.
ill always love mac no matter what. hes my fav
love this homie. health and happiness to him.
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
I don’t know you, but I’m glad this vid could comfort you and I really hope you feel better soon. Much love ❤
same her3
Canadian accents always bring me joy for some reason, but aside that, Mac has a certain earnestness and positive vibe that cheers me up too.. Used to tell my exgf that he'd be my celeb crush if I was a gay dude hahah.. she found that off putting, but I admire people platonically
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 is so cool.
21:05 talking about being sober

I listen to one Wayne g all the time it’s the perfect interlude music to take a break from other genres
If Mac made an ambient album that sounded like his piece "todai", i'd cry😪
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.
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.
Cool hearing your opinions on spotify
I love his personality, he is just so much fun to watch in interviews, this music video really shows that side of him, I saw him live a few summers ago with my music producer friend, honestly one of the best performances I've seen, a no bull shit show, he told the P.A guys to stop the light show and just turn up all the lights so he could see the crowd, rare for a musician to do, I wanna throw my friend some love as we've been through a lot together he's heavily influenced by Mac, try searching Lonely Gimmick - Grumpy Days ,you may be in for a surprise and he would love to hear your opinion
Discovered this gem of a bloke just over a week ago. Awesome guy, great musician.
Não acredito nisso, Mac dando uma entrevista em 2023!! 😮 this is a dream ?
looking forward to Mac back in Canada

Mac demarco so freaking cool 🤗
Macs hats just keep gettin higher and higher. One good ole gust o wind and that hats a goner!
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!
yes mac, do it in mexico
come to brazil again man please
Mac’s interview voice is some really soothing ASMR

Great conversation! Thank you NME
met him at a juan wauters concert very nice guy
BORN IN AUGUSTA GEORGIA
I like Mac
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
Please come to Washington DC
mac NEEEDS his own podcast i could listen to him talk all day
Love mac but after listening to him on a couple pods he’d have to find a specific format that works for him if he were to do a solo pod, otherwise I don’t think I could listen to all the “uhh”’s and inquisitive “I don’t know..”’s 😂
Bro got that Julius Caesar cut
Yeah.. it’s called the Caesar.
Caesar had a dyed mullet and white socks?
Hopefully Mac can visit Florida. Would love to hear him around this p.o.s state.
Nice interview.

It's been 6 days, and I'm still waiting for the interview to get on the motorcycle part 😅
Come to Aussie mate
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
GOD he is so cute. ❤

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
"I've been saving up the juice, and it'll all come out at once"
The way he talks is very similar to how John Mayer talks. Both the cadence and the tone of his voice
Eh not really
I hear it.
honestly pretty spot on
They’re both ENFPs
he's got an awkward, but honest generosity when he speaks. mac speaks and that's that. it is what it is.
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.
Yeah. Sad his music blows now , but I still like him
@@porkchopexpress6969the 11 hour instrumental album or whatever is absurd. It's so pretentious I'm too annoyed to listen to it
@@user61920child like mind
@@user61920 agreed, he thinks his farts are art now.
@@porkchopexpress6969 peaked with salad days/another one. this old dog was good too.
did mac… grow up? his conversing style has changed. in a great way!

That interviewer should be immediately arrested for that haircut.
lookin like the lego figure hair
Bro, what is that?
It’s what female skinheads would rock back in the day, idk what the dude is doing with it
Sorry did you see Marc’s hair fam
Average UK haircut
The interviewer looks like a modern young Paul McCartney (look at his face)

this is a rare example of someone with loads of money who is not horribly uncool
You should have asked Mac if he’s a cop?

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

"I'd never tried to quitting smoking before... it's fUcked up"
LMAO 🤣
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.
Mac is going to live to be 250 years old…

Travel guitars are nice n small with a full size neck or whatever
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
