Mac DeMarco Releases “Holy,” the Second Single from Guitar

Mac DeMarco has released “Holy,” the second single and video from his forthcoming album Guitar, out August 22nd via Mac’s Record Label. Following last month’s “soft, twinkly meditation” (Stereogum) “Home,” this new track is a lilting, laid-back reflection on spirituality.

In the song’s opening lines, Mac sings:
“Miracle, reveal yourself to me // Miracle, your help could set me free”
leading into the poignant conclusion:
“Curse, carried on forever in me // Curse, from which I may never be free // Curse from down below // Holy.”

As with the video for “Home,” DeMarco filmed the “Holy” video himself. He explains,

“I waded around in the ocean fully clothed for a couple hours and completely filled my boots with seawater. There were some other shots on some rocks I kept trying too, but in the end the clip of me falling in the garden and eating the apple was best. Thank you for listening.”
