Mac DeMarco is back with some more covers of Christmas classics. After previously covering songs like “White Christmas” and “Wonderful Christmas Time,” the 28-year-old Canadian musician now decided to treat us with his version of “The Christmas Time,” on which he teamed up with Kirin J Callinan.
The cover serves as a part of 10-track compilation Valentine Recording Presents: A Christmas Miracle which also features acts like Weyes Blood, Alex Cameron, Molly Lewis, and Jack Ladder among others. All the funds collected from the sales of this collection will go towards helping the victims of wildfires that hit California recently.

Mac DeMarco presented his latest studio release, album This Old Dog, back in May 2017. The record ended up receiving positive reviews from the critics while having a solid run at the charts. It peaked at No.29 at the US Billboard 200 charts, while topping the US Independent Albums and New Zealand Heatseekers Albums.
While he didn’t put out new material in 2018, DeMarco did release a collection of demo recording from This Old Dog titled Old Dog Demos, which also contained some of the songs that didn’t make the final cut. The album was first released exclusively as vinyl in spring and was later made available on the streaming platforms.
