Novena's New Music Friday Must Hear's & Coachella Must See's
KCRW’s signature music program — defying format since 1977.

Canadian indie rock guitar hero Mac DeMarco is here for a nice chat with some choice song selections woven throughout. The artist (now based in LA) recently released his sixth studio album, fittingly titled Guitar, and he’s here to tell us all about it and to share some additional musical inspiration. Fun fact: Guitar is DeMarco’s first album to feature lyrics since 2019, but all of the songs he’s sharing for his guest DJ set today are strictly instrumental.
Catch Mac DeMarco live at the Santa Barbara Bowl on Monday, Sept. 29.
