I love Mac's music. The single/album name clash sounds like a huge waste of time, can't believe anyone even mentioned it.
Mitski releases Be The Cowboy, with the single "Nobody", and it's her real shot into the mainstream, and goes on to get Pitchfork's Album of the Year for 2018. And I think the Mitski fanbase is particularly bizarre in how closely they identify with her.[1]
So for Mac Demarco to release Here Comes the Cowboy, with the lead single "Nobody", right after all that, feels weird. Obviously it's a coincidence and not a big deal, but I understand why people thought it was worth mentioning.

I am a little surprised Mac wasn’t aware of her album, though. You would think the Mac world and Mitski world are relatively close circles in indie rock.
What I really wanna hear, is some of those Mac/Anderson Paak jams.
