Canadian indie-rocker Mac DeMarco has got into the festive season, sharing a cover of Perry Como’s version of ‘It’s Beginning To Look A Lot Like Christmas’. The cover is a simplistic one, featuring little more than jazz-styled keyboard and DeMarco’s intimate vocals.
The seasonal cover comes accompanied by a music video that captures DeMarco’s irreverent style. Dressed in an inflatable Santa suit, Mac rides a motorcycle around the streets of Los Angeles while Dan McNeill follows in an inflatable gingerbread man suit.
Mac DeMarco – ‘It’s Beginning To Look A Lot Like Christmas’
This is the latest in DeMarco’s annual run of Christmas covers, with a new one arriving each December for the last six years. Recent outings have included ‘Santa Claus Is Coming To Town’, ‘Have Yourself A Merry Little Christmas’, and ‘I’ll Be Home For Christmas’, with the latter pair also featuring inflatable Christmas costumes in their respective videos.
DeMarco hasn’t released any non-seasonal material since his 2019 LP Here Comes The Cowboy. Having taken time off throughout the COVID-19 pandemic, he made a proper return to the live stage in October 2021, with a new album reportedly in the works.
