Mikal Cronin shares Origins of airy new single “Breathe”: Stream

Origins is a recurring feature that lets artists dig into the various inspirations behind their latest music.

At the end of the week, Mikal Cronin will release a new two-song 7-inch, his first solo effort in some time. His last album was 2015’s MCIII, but that’s not to say that the California rocker has been absent from the scene since then. Rather, the “Weight” crooner has always been a prolific creator, though he frequently shares his talents with his collaborators like Ty Segall and Kim Gordon.
