Next month, Mac DeMarco will release his highly anticipated new album, Here Comes The Cowboy. Now, the singer-songwriter has previewed his forthcoming collection with a new single, “All Of Our Yesterdays.”
DeMarco’s latest song was premiered on Tuesday via Zane Lowe’s World Record on Apple Music / Beats 1. After its radio premiere, the fan-favorite indie rocker released a statement about “All Of Our Yesterdays,” offering insight into the history of the song. He shared:
Hi everybody, Mac here. Here’s my new song, it’s called “All Of Our Yesterdays.” This was the first song I wrote in the sequence of songs that appear on my new record. Most of the rest of the songs were written in November right before we went on tour in Europe, but this one’s probably from about seven or eight months before that. I left it sitting with only one verse done for a long time, then finished it up while I was writing the rest of the record. The phrase ‘all of our yesterdays’ comes from the play Macbeth. Also I think there’s a Star Trek episode from 1969 with the same title; very cool. I had just seen a documentary about Oasis before writing this song, and I was trying to write a gigantic rock and roll hit with my renewed love for the band. I didn’t really get close to that at all, but I’m happy with the song that came out hahahahaha.
The dreamy, somewhat wistful number appears on DeMarco’s 13-track LP, Here Comes The Cowboy, which is due out on May 10th via Mac’s Record Label. The album follows up 2017’s This Old Dog and heavily features his touring keyboardist Alec Meen. The “Chamber of Reflection” singer will support the record with an extensive North American and European tour.
