Photos Remember your lines: Rehearsing ‘Another One’ with Mac DeMarco

Most people would kill at least three likeable acquaintances to spend a day in the company of Mac DeMarco. Photographer Laura-Lynn Petrick spent two entire weeks following him around. Instead of basking in his glory and laughing at all his jokes, she took some shots of Mac and his band as they rehearsed the songs from his off-the-cuff mini-album ‘Another One’.

Retreating to Far Rockaway, Queens, Mac and co. fleshed out songs that were recorded in one two-week burst of free time. Speaking to DIY about the release and how it differs to ‘Salad Days’, Mac said: “I was pretty grumpy… Back then, I’d get blackout drunk every single night, sometimes when we were still on stage. I’ve reeled it in a little bit, but not that much.”

Below, you’ll find photos of the rehearsals, provided exclusively by Laura-Lynn, alongside her own account of what went down. She was there to experience the rush of fans who’d just discovered Mac’s home address and wanted to bring him gifts.
