California singer-songwriter Mikal Cronin continues to evolve his sound ever so slightly, though the naming pattern for his LPs has stayed the same. Following Mikal Cronin and its followup MCII, the garage-leaning pop dude has announced his logically titled third album MCIII.
The album features 11 new songs from the artist, though if the tracklisting is any indication, the second half of the release features six parts that form one whole.
