BACKGROUND SNAPSHOT:
Since he began recording in 2005, Mikal Cronin has blended the classic sounds of his native Southern California, from surf and pop to punk and garage. His retro style and hard rocking live shows quickly garnered him attention, leading to several fruitful collaborations with fellow Californian Ty Segall, including a stint in Segall’s band. Cronin began his solo career in 2011 with his self-titled debut, which Uncut named one of its 50 best albums of the year. For his 2013 follow-up MCII, Cronin played almost all of the instruments on the record and earned even more positive reviews. While touring extensively to promote the album, he continued to develop new material, reflecting on the defining moments of his life so far. The result was 2015’s MCIII, an ambitious album that expanded his sonic pallet, adding string sections and exotic instruments to his classic pop-rock sound.
