Background and production

"I think people should be able to come along and have it mean something to them [...] It's talking about all different kinds of facets of being in love, being out of love, wanting love, not wanting love. So I think that it's not so important what they mean to me, as opposed to being there for other people to have and to enjoy, hopefully and maybe to reflect on, or whatever."

–DeMarco in July 2015 [9]

Another One was recorded by DeMarco in his home in Far Rockaway, Queens, New York between tour dates promoting his previous studio album Salad Days (2014). [3] The songs were written within a week and recorded within the following week and a half. [10]

Release and promotion

The release of the mini-LP was announced on April 22, 2015. Along with the extended play, 43 tour dates, starting in April and ending in September, were announced. DeMarco is set to perform at several North American and European festivals and will also be headlining concerts on both continents. Dinner supported him on his first three dates, in Portland, Seattle and Vancouver. [11] On May 11, DeMarco shared "The Way You'd Love Her", and announced 24 further tour dates, extending the festival and concert tour to November. [12] Without permission, BBC Radio played the previously unheard song "Just to Put Me Down" from the mini-LP on June 9. [13] A week later, DeMarco released a self-directed music video for the mini-LP's title track. [14] He also encouraged fans to upload their own cover versions of the song and announced he would award 69 cents to the fan with the best submission. [15] On July 8, DeMarco held a listening party and BBQ for fans in Brooklyn, New York. Attendees who offered donations to a food bank received BBQ food. [16] DeMarco shared "I've Been Waiting for Her" on July 14. [17] "No Other Heart" premiered on Annie Mac's BBC Radio 1 show Musical Hot Water Bottle on July 20. [18] Another One was made available for streaming through NPR Music on July 31. [10]

At the end of the final track, "My House by the Water," DeMarco recites his home address in New York City and invites fans for a cup of coffee. Two weeks after Another One had been leaked online, about 30 strangers had come to his house. Speaking about this in an interview, DeMarco said, "The way I rationalize it, to have the address you’ll have to listen to the album to the very end. Second, to even consider coming to my house, you have to be a kind of a superfan. And thirdly, it’s in such a weird part of New York that if they actually get there, they deserve a cup of coffee."
