Earlier this year, DeMarco featured on a benefit album for those affected by the Los Angeles wildfires alongside King Gizzard & The Lizard Wizard, The War On Drugs, and My Morning Jacket‘s Jim James.

In August, the Canadian spoke to NME about the pivotal music that shaped who he is, with the likes of The Sultan Of Slacker Rock and Moody Blues making the cut.

Elsewhere, he reflected on the changes in the music industry throughout his career – specifically the rise of AI.

“We’re in a funny zone right now where AI is coming in and getting good at things, fast,” he told  The Independent. “Things start feeling paint-by-numbers sometimes. When you have AI bands coming around, and people listening to music without even realising it’s AI-generated, we’re in a weird place.”

He continued: “I hear about people using AI to even write lyrics a lot nowadays, which is a bit like… give me a fucking break. I think it’s about intention. If people want to climb the mountain, I guess you use the tools you can to get up there. I don’t know what you’re gonna find when you get up there, but hopefully you’re happy.”
