“Mikal Cronin… the Waylon Jennings to Ty Segall’s Buddy Holly - a collaborator and sideman who sometimes fills the bass chair in the psych-rock upstart’s live band… On his eponymous debut, Mikal Cronin proves he can hold his own. It’s an album of wistful, psychedelic pop that pits lush and layered arrangements against needle-pinning power chords.
Like Segall’s latest, Goodbye Bread, Cronin’s solo turn finds him dialing back his thrashier impulses in order to clear space for singer-songwriter-style introspection.” 8.1/10
- Pitchfork
“Mikal Cronin’s self-titled debut came… a bracing, 30-minute blast of unpolished but smartly arranged garage-punk… Cronin sticks with bare-bones production and standard classic-rock tropes, but his ear for inventive arrangements sets him apart from the pack.”
- NPR
“Much in the same vein as Thee Oh Sees and Ty Segall, Mikal Cronin votes straight down the ticket of that San Francisco psych-garage revival platform.” 4 stars
- Consequence of Sound
“Prior to the band’s breakup last year, Los Angeles’ Mika Miko gained reputation for their energetic live performances, as well as the spiny, hooky punk… From the ashes of that band rises Bleached, a duo comprised of Mika Miko’s Jessica and Jennifer Clavin. Bleached’s brand of jangly guitar-pop is more streamlined than Mika Miko… Sometimes, though, all you really need is one idea - and a killer hook - to make an enjoyable racket.
- Pitchfork
“Acorn Bcorn, the sister duo—Marina and Leann Cornelius—formed from the ashes of The Beta Sweat. The siblings trade off on guitar, bass and drums, with Marina handling the vocals, and the duo specializes in a brand of riot grrrl-inspired, skeletal punky blues. Part of the fun of seeing Acorn Bcorn is seeing the division of labor between the two—for example, Marina might play guitar, sing and keep a drumbeat simultaneously, while Leeann plays the bass and takes over percussion when Marina is too busy to do so.”
