Mikal Cronin shares “I’ve Got Reason,” the final pre-release single from his new album Seeker, out October 25. Following “Shelter” and lead single “Show Me,” “I’ve Got Reason” is one of the heaviest songs on the album, crashing with weighty guitar and percussion. “This song runs through a mess of confusing interactions in a world that gets stranger all the time,” says Cronin. “Musically, it’s got some Beatles and some Nirvana, with a bendy Mellotron line that helps tie the worlds together.” The accompanying visuals, created by Daniel Murphy, feature live footage shot by Cronin.

Following heartbreak and writer’s block, Cronin spent a month in Idyllwild, a small town in the mountains of southern California, where he wrote the bulk of Seeker over a month-long period. Returning to Los Angeles after a series of fires sparked by an arsonist forced him to evacuate, he began the recording process at Palmetto Studios. There, engineer Jason Quever and a crew of close friends helped bring the album together. The record was backed by Ty Segall’s Freedom Band. Nature fresh on his mind, he was driven to use organic sounds. “I wanted to bring you into the room. Jason and I talked about the Beatles’ White Album a lot when placing mics,” says Cronin. “I brought a charred pine cone from the woods to the studio, just in case it would help. Fire—specifically its cycle of purging and reseeding the landscape—is a central theme to the record. Death and rebirth.”

Starting on release day, Cronin will bring his full-band live show across North America in support of Seeker, prior to a European tour early next year. All tour dates are on sale now and can be found below. Additionally, Mikal has launched the Mikal Cronin Fan Club.
