• Matt DeMarco began life in Duncan, Vancouver Island, but spent most of his formative years in Edmonton. After that, he lived in several major cities - Vancouver, Montreal, New York, and LA's Silver Lake neighborhood - before buying a rambling, 100-year-old farmhouse on a remote island deep in the Salish Sea off the British Columbia coast, reachable only by boat.
  
  In the summer of 2024, DeMarco came up with a plan to get his mom a new place on the West Coast near his British Columbia home. "We were up here looking around with her, then I went back to LA on my motorcycle," he said. "Back in LA, I had a certain amount of time before more stuff with the house happened, about a month and a half, so I decided I would make a record. I just started writing every day."
  
  That record became his sixth album, Guitar.
• Guitar was written and recorded in Los Angeles over a two-week period in November 2024. DeMarco handled all features of the album, including mixing, directing and shooting music videos, and creating the album's cover.
  
  "I like keeping it as simple as possible," DeMarco told Uncut magazine, "and the reason it's called guitar is because there's only guitar - and drums."
• DeMarco released "Home" on June 24, 2025, as the lead single from Guitar. He said it's a song about what home means to him now, written at his house in Silver Lake, reflecting on places and relationships he has left.
• The video shows DeMarco canoeing and observing birds and shoreline scenery, cut together in a low-key, home-movie style. The footage was shot near his mother's new home in Canada, synching with the song's reflection on changing homes and landscapes.
