Haruomi Hosono is currently on tour behind the newly re-arranged and re-recorded edition of his 1973 LP Hochono House. For his Los Angeles show at the Mayan, the Japanese icon had a surprise guest. He brought out Mac DeMarco for a performance of his 1975 song “Honey Moon,” which DeMarco covered last year. Watch them take the stage together below.
DeMarco recently spoke to CBC Radio about his love for Hosono. “Honest to God, since I heard him, you know, I probably heard him about 10 years ago now, I’ve been trying to rip him off,” he said in an interview. “He’s been my favorite thing to dive into or listen to or try to emulate for a long time.”
Here Comes the Cowboy, DeMarco’s latest album, arrived last month. He recently produced “The Eternal Tao” for Julian Casablancas’ the Voidz.
