Mikal Cronin - s/t (2011, Trouble in Mind) (garage/power-pop/psychedelic)

--- Quote from: p4k ---On his eponymous debut, Mikal Cronin proves he can hold his own. It's an album of wistful, psychedelic pop that pits lush and layered arrangements against needle-pinning power chords. Like Segall's latest, Goodbye Bread, Cronin's solo turn finds him dialing back his thrashier impulses in order to clear space for singer-songwriter-style introspection.
But when the curtain of lysergic gristle is pulled aside, it turns out that they're not the same person, after all. Even when he goes all Neil Young, Segall still retains an affable beach-dude demeanor. Cronin turns out to be the more vulnerable voice-- Elliott Smith in throwback dress, minus the self-loathing. And, like Smith, he has an ear for arrangements.

I can't even imagine what that could possibly sound like but I'm excited to find out!
valley_parade:
I'm a little skeptical. Everytime someone's said a band had shoegaze and black metal elements, they've ended up sounding nothing like either of the two, and mostly like crap.
That Mikel Cronin album though..took a couple songs to get going, but it's very good.
