MAC DEMARCO has unveiled an existential new video to accompany his upcoming album’s lead single and title track ‘This Old Dog’.
Set on the streets of Los Angeles, the clip captures a fairly surreal tale of canine friendship as a few people wander about and take in the sun; all while wearing some slightly disturbing dog masks.
DeMarco, who self-directed the video, has said: “A devoted dog discovers the meaning of its own existence through the lives of the humans it teaches to laugh and love. Reincarnated as multiple canines over the course of five decades, the lovable pooch develops an unbreakable bond with a kindred spirit named Ethan. As the boy grows older and comes to a crossroad, the dog once again comes back into his life to remind him of his true self.”
The playful video is a perfect accompaniment to the sun-kissed track with its lolling rhythms and gentle guitar melodies. This Old Dog is slated for release on 5th May. The lo-fi rocker has already been confirmed to play at a number of festivals this summer before returning to Scotland to play Edinburgh’s Usher Hall on 30th August.
