<\/div>\n

Mac DeMarco<\/a> marked Christmas with a no-frills rendition of the holiday staple, \u201cSanta Claus Is Comin\u2019 to Town.\u201d<\/p>\n

On YouTube, DeMarco said he recorded the song Wednesday, December 25th, at his own Jizz Jazz studios. The cover moves with a delightful, stripped-down swing as DeMarco croons the tune over a mix of soft drums, electric keys and a particularly tasteful acoustic guitar solo. In vintage DeMarco fashion, the musician paired the cover with a video on YouTube that features a single slow zoom on a Christmas tree ornament of Star Wars<\/i>\u2018 Emperor Palpatine because, sure, why not.<\/p>\n

DeMarco <\/i>spent most of 2019 touring in support of his most recent album, Here Comes the Cowboy<\/i><\/a>, which he released in May. At the time, the album marked his first since 2017\u2019s This Old Dog<\/i><\/a>. More recently, DeMarco made a cameo<\/a> in Jenny Lewis\u2019 \u201cRabbit Hole\u201d video, while he also directed a truly bizarre video<\/a> for Iggy Pop\u2019s \u201cSonali,\u201d which involved lizard people on a quest for love.<\/p>\n
