Mikal Cronin is one of those artists who has managed to do a tremendous amount and still stay fairly under the radar. Adamantly followed by some, others may only know his collaborations with recently trending psych-rocker Ty Segall. Cronin is set to release his second solo album, appropriately entitled MCII on Merge in May. The first cut from that is the energetic power pop track “Shout It Out,” which has us convinced and ready to hear more. Stream the track below and check out the tour dates following that. Cronin will not only be at SXSW but also will return to Austin on June 27th.
