PLAYING NXNE NEXT WEEK

Mac
DeMarco, formerly Makeout Videotape, is the antithesis to your
stereotypical singer-songwriter. Disregarding the seriously somber
moments, he replaces them with whimsical and youthful spontaneity,
whilst retaining the endearing and subtle commentaries that exude his
familiarity. Promptly after leaving his Edmonton garage for Vancouver
he embarked on a North American tour accompanying fellow Canadians
Japandroids on a grand voyage of enlightenment and alcoholic debauchery.
DeMarco's a weird cat cultivating an affinity for occult imagery, nudity and social satire. But his most impressive trait is his undeniable and instinctual ability to compose magical pop jangles, of which he'll likely refer to as "jizz jazz". His dusted jams have garnished him accolades that are as ever-increasing as his song writing abilities; his sound rendering comparisons, but in a nomadic fashion alluding no distinct origin. DeMarco's debut solo EP entitled Rock And Roll Night Club has rambled into the great unknown guided by Captured Tracks, DeMarco's inner Elvis a tow.
Now Mac is sharing the beautiful Angus Borsos-directed video for Rock and Roll Night Club tune
"European Vegas". The video was recently premiered by IFC with
commentary from the director and is now available for all below.
"It
feels like some half-remembered delusion by Gus Van Sant and Richard
Linklater set to the sleaziest Canadian bedroom pop I've heard." - Brandon Kim, IFC
