Mikal Cronin’s New Album Seeker Was Sparked by a Wildfire

). This album still finds an enjoyable middle ground somewhere between DIY garage/punk à la his former San Francisco friends Ty Segall and Thee Oh Sees and string-laden, hook-driven rock from the Oasis and Beatles lineage , but it’s more direct than his past records, more lyrically specific and philosophical too.

It also sounds livelier as well, thanks in no small part to Cronin inviting his friends into the studio to play alongside him for the first time, including Segall, Shannon Lay, William Tyler and loads more. Cronin played every instrument on his past releases himself. This time, he decided to let go a little bit more.

“I was worried about going into a new studio, worried about a new approach, so I really needed some strong support,” Cronin explains. “I have so many extremely talented friends who are all a better guitar player than me or a better bass player than me or a better drummer than me. I just wanted the support, the emotional and literal support.

“Give away, offer help / Something larger than ourselves / We’ll fall in love, and fuck the nonsense / It’s not for us,” he sings before fantasizing about moving to a place “by the sea where we’ll live forever.” It’s a touching way to end a record full of fire and destruction, especially since those natural disasters weren’t just metaphorical. The acoustic guitar and falsetto showcase the most vulnerable Cronin we’ve ever heard.

“That one’s kind of a love song to my girlfriend who’s a creative person too—she’s a writer,” he says of thefinale. “It’s one of the more basic love songs I’ve ever written. I usually keep it a little more abstract than that, but it seemed to make sense on the record to wrap things up. I do like ending things on a hopeful note.”
