Watch Mac DeMarco cover Angel Olsen’s ‘Lights Out’
See Mac shun his ‘Salad Days’ for four sweet minutes.
Two artists responsible for some of 2014’s defining releases combine here, as recently Mac DeMarco entered the A Pint of Cacophony studio for a special cover of Angel Olsen.
Building on from his own ‘Salad Days’ record, he took off on an acoustic rendition of ‘Lights Out’, a standout on Olsen’s recent ‘Burn Your Fire For No Witness’ album.
Alongside the cover, Mac also performed ‘Salad Days’’ title-track, alongside ‘Let Her Go’. “If you’re out there Angel hi, and if you’re not - hi anyway. And if I fuck this up, then I fuck it up,” he said before the cover.
Watch DeMarco’s Angel Olsen cover below.
