Mikal Cronin announces first album in four years with lead single "Show Me"

"Show Me" is Cronin's first new single since his "Breathe" and "Undertow" singles from earlier this year.

Expanding on the new offering, Cronin says, ""Show Me" is a song about feeling small in an overwhelming world. There's a not-quite-subtle hint of the Heartbreakers in the instrumentation and arrangement, having asked many friends to play or sing. It's one of my favourite songs from the album, I hope you like it too."

Cronin's new album Seeker will be his first since 2015's MCIII.

The demos of Seeker were created during a month-long solo visit to Idyllwild in southern California. Speaking about the process, Cronin explains, "It was so quiet and peaceful. I got weird looks at the store. I got bug bites that didn’t heal for months. I walked around a small lake a few times. I wrote. I took literally something that’s usually a hypothetical, something every artist thinks about doing. It worked."

Seeker was then recorded at LA's Palmetto Studios with engineer Jason Quever, and Ty Segall's Freedom Band. Expanding on the recording experience, Cronin says, "I wanted to bring you into the room. Jason and I talked about the Beatles’ White Album a lot when placing mics. I brought a charred pine cone from the woods to the studio, just in case it would help. Fire - specifically its cycle of purging and reseeding the landscape - is a central theme to the record. Death and rebirth."
