If you thought you had Mac DeMarco all figured out, well, everything you know isn’t wrong. Vernor Winfield McBriare Smith IV is part rebel, part rambler, and total dude— and in a new Jon Leone-directed short film, he doubles down on his chain-smoking-screwball rep and draws you into the deepest recesses of his dark, dank psyche, all while grinning like a total knob.
Pepperoni Playboy, a 34-minute "macumentary" shot in part by DeMarco and bandmate Pierce McGarry, follows Mac as he hams it up on tour in China, shows off his Jizz Jazz Studios in Brooklyn, and takes the piss out of DIIV and Bon Iver. Along the way, he shows us "how to make acoustic guitars rock," gives hot tips to aspiring young indie rockers, and pulls off a shower scene not unlike the one in Ferris Bueller’s Day Off, if it happened on a toilet.
Life moves pretty fast. As Mac says, "Enjoy it while it fuckin' lasts."
Pepperoni Playboy debuts Monday on Pitchfork.tv, and this is the ridiculous trailer:
