- Release Notes ------------------------------------------------------------- -

  Mikal CroninÆs self-titled debut from 2011 was all about endings: the end of
  college, the end of a serious relationship, and the end of his time in Los
  Angeles, where he grew up. So itÆs no surprise that his sophomore release
  MCIIùand first disc for Merge Recordsùis all about new beginnings.

  ôSince the first record came out, my life has changed quite a bit,ö Cronin
  says, referencing his move to San Francisco and tours with Ty Segall as well
  as with his own band. ôI was presented with a whole new slew of problems and
  situations that I was trying to work through.ö ôAm I Wrongö and ôShout It Outö
  dissect his fears over a new relationship, while ôIÆm Done Running from Youö
  and ôWeightö find him freaking out about what it means to grow up in the 21st
  century.

  Recorded in late 2012 by Eric Bauer at Bauer Mansion in San Francisco (except
  for ôDonÆt Let Me Goö which was recorded by Cronin at home), MCII includes
  guest appearances by K. Dylan Edrich (viola and violin on ôPeace of Mindö and
  ôChangeö), Charles Moothart (drums on ôChangeö and ôTurn Awayö), Ty Segall
  (guitar solos on ôAm I Wrongö and ôIÆm Done Running from Youö), and Petey
  Dammit (slide guitar on ôPeace of Mindö).

  Other than these few exceptions, Cronin played all of the instruments. ôIt all
  makes total sense to me, but when I step back, it sounds kind of
  schizophrenic,ö Cronin says. ôHopefully it all sounds enough like me to make
  sense.ö

  Mikal Cronin’s self-titled debut from 2011 was all about endings: the end of
  college, the end of a serious relationship, and the end of his time in Los
  Angeles, where he grew up. So it’s no surprise that his sophomore release
  MCII—and first disc for Merge Records—is all about new beginnings.

  “Since the first record came out, my life has changed quite a bit,” Cronin
  says, referencing his move to San Francisco and tours with Ty Segall as well
  as with his own band. “I was presented with a whole new slew of problems and
  situations that I was trying to work through.” “Am I Wrong” and “Shout It Out”
  dissect his fears over a new relationship, while “I’m Done Running from You”
  and “Weight” find him freaking out about what it means to grow up in the 21st
  century.

  Recorded in late 2012 by Eric Bauer at Bauer Mansion in San Francisco (except
