New album 'Seeker' by Mikal Cronin - "still among the best singer-songwriters out there"

"'Seeker' is an exciting and treasurable return for Cronin... The LP reveals how wide-ranging and bravely impassioned Cronin remains, allowing him to still rank among the best singer-songwriters out there" - Consequence of Sound writes about Californian's latest album. He wrote the album in Californian mountains, surrounded by forest, which he had to leave early due to wildfires: “Fire - specifically its cycle of purging and reseeding the landscape - is a central theme to the record. Death and rebirth. I was looking for something: answers, direction, peace. I am the seeker”, Cronin says himself. Brooklyn Vegan says the "'Seeker' does sound like a new beginning, one that finds Cronin matching the lyrical upheaval with seriously dynamic arrangements".
