Mac DeMarco appears to be releasing a 199-song album this week. You read that right — 199 new songs. It's titled One Wayne G and it's out at midnight (April 21).
DeMarco hasn't officially announced the album, but the playlist can be found on YouTube, where the videos are currently hidden but One Wayne G's title and album cover can be seen. Since it's already Friday in Australia and New Zealand, fans on Reddit report that it's already available (and is also up on streaming services, including Spotify). According to the fan who shared the One Wayne G on YouTube, the songs date from May 2018 to January 2023. The song titles are simply dates (such as "20180512"), seemingly corresponding to when the track was made.
UPDATE (4/20, 2:50 p.m. ET): DeMarco has officially announced One Wayne G, although he hasn't shared the exact details about its scope. An Instagram post from Mac's Record Label reveals that there are vinyl and cassette versions. The post also reveals that One Wayne G is named after Wayne Gretzky.
UPDATE (4/21, 6:00 p.m. ET): One Wayne G is out now through streaming services. Listen to it at the bottom of this page.
One fan based in Australia wrote that it's nearly eight hours of music, and that most of it has vocals and is not instrumental. The rarity "Garbage Funk" is included.
This confirms rumours that have been floating around DeMarco fan communities in recent months, as one fan reported that DeMarco had personally told him that 200 new songs would be coming out soon.
DeMarco released the instrumental album Five Easy Hot Dogs earlier this year. In an interview with Exclaim! at the time, he said that more new material would be out in 2023.
