The San Franciscan psych rocker and longtime Ty Segall co-conspirator Mikal Cronin is getting ready to release his new solo album MCII, and today he’s shared its opening track, the breezy and uplifting “Weight.” The song has all the finely sculpted fuzz-tone we expect from the Bay Area garage-rock underground, but it’s also got a furiously sharp classic-rock hook at its center, and it’s got me seriously excited to hear the rest of the album. Listen to the song below.

MCII is out 5/7 on Merge.
