Mac DeMarco

Mac DeMarco, this quirky, gap-toothed dude from Duncan, British Columbia, rolled into the world on April 30, 1990. You might know him for his offbeat lo-fi jams and those hilarious interviews, but he's flexed his creative muscles in film too. He’s been tied to movies like “Everything, Everything” (2017), “Palo Alto” (2013), and “The Binge” (2020). Not exactly your standard, cookie-cutter Hollywood guy—he brings this chill, almost slacker energy that totally seeps into his work, whether he's strumming a guitar or popping up on a soundtrack. His music’s that dreamy, jangly stuff that feels like a lazy summer afternoon—think warped cassette tapes, smoking by the pool, and maybe a little bit of heartbreak. In “Palo Alto,” for example, his tracks set the mood: a kind of bittersweet nostalgia that makes teen drama hit different. And with “Everything, Everything,” DeMarco’s tunes sneak in to give the story that extra kick of sincerity and, honestly, a little weirdness. As a composer, he doesn’t just drop in generic background music; he creates these sonic atmospheres that wrap around a movie’s vibe, making scenes feel more lived-in and real. Whether or not you’re a superfan, you gotta admit—his off-the-wall charm and one-of-a-kind sound always leave a mark. Kinda wild how a guy from a small Canadian town ends up shaping the tone of indie films, right? That's Mac for ya—never boring, always a little bit unexpected.
