You might have seen/heard Mikal Cronin at SXSW, but if you lead a sad existence like I sometimes do, you haven't been to SXSW yet. To me, he sounds a little like Fleet Foxes and the Beach Boys had a transgenerational love child. It's not the cleanest sound, but it's soothingly noisy. I don't mind noisy music when it maintains a melody and isn't just repetitive buzzing. His peaceful voice is a nice contrast to the noise. It's like a soothing sound leading you through chaos.
His song, Weight, is what first got my attention. You can get this song from Amazon in the Merge Records Summer Sampler 2013. The sampler is free...or was when I got it.
I tend to prefer songs from the newest album, MCII, but other songs aren't bad either.
