Get ready to get “a little bit louder now”! Today, Mike Krol shares “This Is the News” from his Merge debut Turkey, describing the song as “my Declaration of Independence, my Manifest Destiny, my Treaty of Versailles, and my answer to ‘Shout’ by the Isley Brothers.”

Stereogum premiered the track, writing "Mike Krol is garage rock’s underdog that everyone will want to root for — they just don’t know it yet." Start spreading the word, because the secret is out on Mike Krol! 

Turkey is available for pre-order on CD and LP in the Merge store, and digitally via iTunes. Also, the new Mike Krol-edition Merge slipmat is available now in the Merge store.

The Mike Krol band will open for Mac McCaughan & the Non-Believers for a few shows in September, with more tour dates still to be announced. Keep up with Mike on Twitter, Instagram, and Facebook.
