Following the day in the life of a motel maid, played by Mary Timony, “Peace of Mind,” is the latest video off of Mikal Cronin’s MCII. Cronin’s ability to expertly craft pop melodies while subtly tugging at your heartstrings pulls you into the cinematic experience. Feeling more like an indie short film, the video leaves you with a complexity of unsettled enigmatic emotions. Paired with the song’s folk influenced underpinnings, you’re left wanting to follow the maid on her decisive journey through the parking lot as the strings strum on. Mikal Cronin plays the El Rey Dec. 3 with Redd Kross. – Jacqueline Caruso
