I'm not sure if this song will ever be properly recorded, so I thought I'd give it to you all. If it shows up on an album down the road...I'll be as surprised as you!Love loveM

i just found this voice memo from september 2019. it was right before i recorded the silver tongue b-side "too big for the glory hole" (literally moments before, in the studio) and i was still figuring out how the melody was going to go. classic me just waiting until it's the actual time to record to find out how you're gonna sing the song....

No idea what this will be. Maybe nothing more. Maybe it will appear again somewhere else. The acoustic you hear is my mom's 12-string Alvarez from the 70's. Love you all xx

Fucked up demo
When I was in Dorset recording Three Futures, I stayed part of the time in my producer Rob's flat, which actually belongs to PJ Harvey. So there I was, looking out the window where Polly herself sat when she wrote Stories From the City and Dry (I think I've got that right.) I was on a budget and trying to be resourceful so I went down to the water (the flat is right on the sea) and cast a net. It took a long time but I caught five fish. When I brought them back up to the flat I realized I didn't have anything to kill them peacefully...
Just for fun...
...here is a live recording of me singing Nirvana's "Milk It" with Deervana (Deertick) as backing band. Pretty sure this was fall 2013 at Brooklyn Bowl. Enjoy! (Don't turn it up too loud or it could be upsetting.) xxM
A Day In the Life
In the morning I'm always excited. Coffee, breakfast, and a new beginning feel probable and within my reach between the hours of 8 and 11 am. I answer some emails and take a couple of calls for interviews. I rest for five minutes to have a think. AH! Here comes the anxiety! WNYC on in the background... political monstrosities...plagues...murders... everything is burning...prioritizing the need to be informed over my need for sanity is a constant source of stress. Then there is frustration over financial burdens (everyone's got those, th...

Happy holidays, y’all 💙
The autumn months have been filled with joy, hard work, a lot more work, and some playing, too. I moved in with my girlfriend, went on a (SOLO ACOUSTIC!) tour with Superchunk, saw Fried Green Tomatoes for the very first time (instant favorite), have continued to work my behind off at my bartending/serving job, went to Georgia to celebrate my grandmother’s 93rd birthday, and now I’m beginning rehearsals with my band for upcoming TOUR DATES. If you can keep it between us, I’ve also got a new song coming out tomorrow, and then another one in...
Almost there...
Happy October 1st! This month is big. I’ve been waiting a long time for this month. Why, you ask? Will there be new music, you ask? What I can tell you is, ready or not, here I come. all my love, and thank you all for your continued support.Mackenzie
Summer, in photos...
As I prepare to release another album into the world and as I mentally train for the days and nights ahead of being on the road, performing, self-promoting, days where I’m going to be so thrilled to be where I am, meeting all of you and seeing the world, but also so sad to be away from my love, Jenna, and my sweet, aging parents, and my perfect 14-years-young cat, Little Bat, I take in the days as gleefully and as ravenously as I possibly can, knowing that I’m going to be busy soon enough. Busy can wait a few more months.Joyfully, gratefull...
MRG30...
was epic. I met all my label mates (and got to say hello to ones I already knew) and I left the stage feeling like good things this way come. Here’s a photo of me writing the set list on the airplane to North Carolina. Maybe you see a couple new ones...All my love,m
Does this thing work?
Thanks for your support, everyone! Here’s a demo of a song from my new album (out January 2020). Love always, Mac
I can’t give too much away...
But I can tell you that album 4 is entirely self-produced. Here’s a classic in-the-studio shot with my friend and engineer, Jeff Zeigler. More soon. Love to you all! M
