The Montreal Solo Artist Pulls On a Blue Dress in His New Video
Cross-dressing and later undressing, off-kilter Canadian
pop singer Mac DeMarco smears makeup and whipped cream over his face in
the new video for lo-fi glam lullaby, “My Kind of Woman,” taken from his
second album, 2. “We wanted to do something different, so
changed the track’s original intention of being a love song between a
man and a woman to become an ode between a man and himself—his feminine
self,” says Alex Lill, director of the Newcomer Pictures-produced short.
Singing under a spotlight in front of burgundy curtains, the
22-year-old protagonist brings to mind Isabella Rossellini’s noir
nightclub performance in Blue Velvet, until the curtains are
ripped away to reveal DeMarco wandering, bewildered, around a crowded,
prop-strewn junkyard in La Brea, Los Angeles. The flamboyant
musician and occasional psychedelic video artist has come a long way
since the days he earned his money by paving roads and participating in
medical experiments before the music started paying its way—he recently
toured the US with Gallic indie superstars, Phoenix.
