Mikal Cronin announces new album MCIII, streams lead track "Made My Mind Up"

Continuing his strictly DIY approach, Cronin's third long-player is all composed and performed by his own hands. This time, however, he's seeking to explore new timbres, tones and territories, including the tzouras, brass sections and a string quartet.

Cronin will release MCIII via Merge on 4 May. The album will be available on CD, LP and cassette, as well as digital download. The first 500 LP orders will receive a limited edition clear version of the record, and some lucky retailers will also be stocking this edition.
