The cowboy theme perhaps alludes to the way an isolated DeMarco feels. Throughout the record, DeMarco employs his typical lazy-rock style intermixed with lo-fi effects, yet adds a Western tinge to reflect the album's cowboy motif. "Heart to Heart" also looks at past years of a connection, while "All Our Yesterdays" confronts the tension of the past and future head on: "All of our yesterdays have gone now/ But that don't mean your dream is over." In "K," a slower, more stripped back song for DeMarco, he comforts a lover, grateful for the path that brought them together and foreseeing the hard times ahead: "Anytime it feels as though my love has gone away/K, settle down, turn around, take this song, let it play." "Here Comes the Cowboy," DeMarco's fourth full length album, carries a tone of melancholy mixed with hesitancy as DeMarco seemingly has one foot ahead of him and one in the past. "Another creature/Whose lost its vision" DeMarco sings of himself. This reticence is palpable on "Nobody," DeMarco's first single off "Here Comes the Cowboy." Mac DeMarco, "Here Comes the Cowboy" (Mac's Record Label)įor a musician who rose to fame quickly - and somewhat unexpectedly considering his niche indie roots - it's natural that Mac DeMarco may feel some reluctance when diving full force into the limelight.
