On May 5, Mikal Cronin will return with MCIII. Marked by the lush arrangements, stunning melodies, and deeply personal lyrical work for which Cronin is now known, the album is also a deliberate attempt to simply Ygo big.Y As he did on his self-titled 2011 debut and 2013Ys MCII, Cronin arranged and played nearly all of the record himself, including the tzouras, a traditional Greek string instrument he heard and subsequently bought while on tour in Athens. ThereYs French horn, saxophone, and trumpet. There are mood-altering crescendos and heartbreaking turns-of-phrase, guitars both gorgeous and pugnacious. No longer satisfied with the sound of Yjust one string player,Y Cronin arranged parts for a full string quartet instead. YItYs a continuation of what IYve been trying to do up until now, but IYm finding a better way to do it,Y he says. YIYm finding a more successful way of working those unexpected elements and textures and instruments into a rock record, of exploring that wormhole and mushing everything together harmoniously. I like riding the line between the two,Y he adds. YI like finding new ways to bring different musical worlds together.Y
