Trouble in Mind

Mikal Cronin is an American garage/psych rock guitarist, bassist, singer and songwriter from Laguna Beach, California. Born on December 26, 1985, he made his debut in the music scene with his self-titled LP in September 2011. The album featured guest appearances by renowned artists such as *Ty Segall*, *Charles Moothart*, and *Emily Rose Epstein*. As a member of the band *The Moonhearts*, Cronin played bass on their album "The Moonhearts" and performed live with the group. He continued to release successful albums including "MCII" in 2013 and "MCIII" in 2015, both on the label Merge Records. Notably, Cronin arranged and played nearly all of the instruments on these records.

With his unique blend of garage rock and psychedelic influences, Mikal Cronin has garnered comparisons to other notable artists like *White Fence*, *Jay Reatard*, and *Thee Oh Sees*. His music captures a raw energy that resonates with fans of bands such as *Dead Ghosts* and *Black Lips*. Whether it's his catchy hooks or heartfelt lyrics, Cronin's talent shines through in every song.

If you're a fan of Ty Segall or enjoy the sounds of bands like Bass Drum of Death or JEFF The Brotherhood, then Mikal Cronin is an artist you won't want to miss. With his

with long time friend and collaborator, ty segall producing, eric bauer (ty segall, royal baths) running the tape machine and guest like john dwyer of thee oh sees, you can be sure you're in for something special. conceived and recorded as a sort of therapy to help cope with adjusting to post-college life, an ensuing break-up and geographic isolation mikal cronin steps momentarily away from the rhythm section of orange county surf-punk bashers, the moonhearts with his debut solo album. fans can take heart, this isn't a 'vanity project' or half-baked endeavour - mikal's solo debut is fully realized, cohesive and beautiful. with themes that are personal as they are universal; questioning the future, accepting the past and living in the moment. taking influences such as the late sixties del shannon and the everly brothers and filtering them through his own mutant californian fuzz, mikal deftly explores his singer-songwriter side that at moments feel like a punk harry nilsson or curt boettcher - balancing sweet melodies and chords with chunky, psychedelic guitar freakouts. don't let the opening beach boys harmonies of 'it's alright?' fool you into thinking this record can be easily pinned down.
