Bliss Out To Iggy Pop X Mac DeMarco’s New Cooked And Fabulous: ‘SONALI’

Iggy’s never looked better 😛

Text by Anjelica Angwin

So, you may remember the still-kicking and punk, Iggy Pop had his latest album Free come out earlier this year (on September 6 to be exact) and it sounded a lil’ different – a sad and contemplative sequel to his 2016 collab with Josh Homme titled Post-Pop Depression. Trust me, we get it. 

But a loungey and off-beat number with a taste of jazz: ‘SONALI’ is having its moment. The wacky tune with an equally wacky music video will give you lizard-love life. Directed by none other than Oyster #117 fave, the weird and wonderful Mac Demarco! The clip is a real trip, two lizard people in love, a fluffy pink Merc stuck in a traffic jam and one sweet, sweet saxophone sesh. 

P.S. Stay till the end for some awkward BTS magic.

Mac Demarco has taken the cold plunge into reality — not just by disarming his social media, but also by treading heavily into adult territory. For a decade, he was our young prince of whiskey-soaked, coming-of-age indie, the guy who’d give his address to fans so they could come round and have a coffee or offer to marry Trump-avoiding Americans so they could be citizens of Canada. Now, he’s a man toeing 30 who just fancies himself an earful of Sinatra and an audience who’re hushed and classy. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Listening to his last record, 'This Old Dog', felt like stumbling upon someone’s diary — an intimate relieving of one’s real dark troubles, only quite public. This new record, 'Here Comes The Cowboy, Mac has said over and over tells no specific narrative. It’s not even about cowboys with hats and boots and yeehaws. In his own words: he’s taking a back seat. So, with no clear story to read into through song — besides what is maybe casual existential dread — and no Stories to tap through for local intel, what the hell has Mac Demarco been doing? We sent his old mate Martin Frawley to find out. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ photography @sergiybarchuk, interview @martin_frawley, words @hm0rgz for #Oyster117 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #macdemarco #martinfrawley #unreal
