Mac DeMarco is at it again with his usual unique charisma in the video for “Dreamin'” off his second release last year 2, and has also announced a slew of tour dates including a stop over at SXSW and Canadian Music Week this Spring in Toronto. Proud to say he’s a Canadian artist too.
It’s kind of an insane freakin’ video clip, but it’s Mac, so we wouldn’t expect anything less than super weird, though the 18th century spoof with black lipstick, smoking, with wig and all in the forest is tres bizarre.
In the press release for the clip, director Jason Harvey explains, “Mac and I spent a beautiful fall afternoon driving around some mostly hideous Quebec suburbs just rocking out and trying to make some magic happen. The end result is a bit like 18th century teenager slacker hangs out in some mall parking lots and slowly descends into insanity.”
