An upcoming tour was also announced for the album.

Background

In 2023, following Mac DeMarco's release of One Wayne G, there was speculation that DeMarco would be retiring from music in reference to him telling an audience in 2022 that "After this tour, there's nothing on the books. So who knows, maybe I'll never be back." DeMarco responded these rumors during an appearance on Emma Chamberlain's podcast where he revealed plans to focus on a new album now that he was done with One Wayne G, adding that he had a new idea for a future album and that "it's going to be good".[3]

On April 8, 2025, DeMarco announced that he would be going on a tour across the United States, Canada, as well as Europe between August and December 2025. The tour is set to begin following the release of a new album that he additionally announced will be released in August 2025.[4][5][6][7] The title of the album, Guitar, was revealed on June 24, 2025, along with its track listing and the release of its lead single, "Home", along with a music video for the track.[8] The whole album was written, produced, and recorded in November 2024 in Mac's home studio in Los Angeles, with the exception of mastering, by David Ives.[2][1] On July 22, DeMarco released another single from the album, "Holy", along with another music video.[9] A third single, "Phantom", was released on August 19.[10]

According to DeMarco, he said that Guitar is "a close representation of where I'm at in my life today as I can manage on paper".[1]
