Ahead of the release of Balloonerism next Friday, January 17th, the Mac Miller Estate shares new song “5 Dollar Pony Rides.” The song provides a glimpse of the fan-favorite album that has circulated online unofficially for years prior to it being released in its entirety – and officially – for the first time ever next week. Born in the same creative period in which Mac was working on Watching Movies with the Sound Off, Delusional Thomas, Faces and more, Balloonerism represents the creative ambition that he had agnostic of musical genre that became increasingly evident over the course of his career.

 

Earlier this week, the Estate shared the album’s track listing, which features appearances from SZA along with Delusional Thomas, an alter ego of Mac’s. Balloonerism will arrive alongside a Samuel Mason-directed film, the trailer for which debuted at Tyler, The Creator’s Camp Flog Gnaw Carnival in November.

 

 

The album will be available digitally as well as in a variety of physical formats including CD, cassette and vinyl, all of which are now available for pre-order. The vinyl will be available as a two-LP release across two exclusive variants – a one-time, limited edition deluxe pressing that features a rainbow foil-wrapped slipcase with white splatter cloud vinyl and a 32-page color booklet featuring photos and lyrics as well as a limited one-time pressing that features clear vinyl.
