Mac DeMarco continues his holiday tradition of covering Christmas songs. This time, he gifted us with a rendition of Christmas classic “Santa Claus Is Coming to Town.”

Posting the cover on YouTube, DeMarco shared that he recorded the song in his studio Jizz Jazz, which is located in Brooklyn. The track came with an accompanying video that had the Christmas tree ornament of Star Wars’ Emperor Palpatine in the main role. As the song progressed, the camera zoomed in closer on the ornament.

DeMarco also presented his new studio album Here Comes the Cowboy in 2019. The record received polarizing reviews, earning both praise and criticism from fans and critics. It peaked at No.10 on the US Billboard 200.
