Background notes
Archive material and source history
Mikal Cronin is a singer-songwriter from San Francisco who started his solo career in 2011 with a self-titled debut album. That record had a raw, garage-inflected sound that drew comparisons to other indie rock figures like Ty Segall. His follow-up, 'MCII' from 2013, showed more developed arrangements and introspective lyrics, with songs like 'Am I Wrong' and 'Apathy' capturing a particular blend of power pop and classic rock.
He grew up in Oakland and has mentioned the Beatles, the Velvet Underground, and the Ramones as early influences. In 2014, allegations of sexual misconduct surfaced, leading to canceled shows and a public apology where Cronin said he was seeking therapy and working on education around consent.
His catalog includes four studio albums, with tracks like 'Don't Let Me Go' and 'I'm Done Running From You' continuing in that vein of melodic, guitar-driven songwriting. The music tends to balance catchy hooks with a more reflective, sometimes anxious lyrical tone.
