</p>[POP ROCKS SUPERSTAR] You have to hand it to Merge Records. Wise label that it is, it isn’t trying to track down the next Spoon or Arcade Fire. Instead, the North Carolina-based imprint is throwing its considerable resources behind young, hungry talent like Mikal Cronin. Cronin has secured his place on the garage-rock walk of fame via his Pixy Stix-fueled pop group the Moonhearts and his frequent work backing up Ty Segall on tour and on record. But don’t discount Cronin’s work under his own name. His Merge debut, <i>MCII</i> (out in May), adds a folk-country element that glares out even when the fuzzbox is cranked up and tempos (and minds) are wicked high.<p class="p1"></p><p></p>
