But it\u2019s been over six years since the last classic DeMarco album, with his interim output consisting of a compilation album and an instrumental album in 2023. The bite-sized pieces of <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Guitar <\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">shared in advance of the album\u2019s release today gesture toward the late-\u201960s\/early-\u201970s melodies of Crosby, Stills, Nash, and Young, with the minimalist support of a plucked electric guitar.
