Dan Croll releases his highly anticipated debut album ‘Sweet Disarray’. The past year has seen the Paul McCartney endorsed Dan Croll rise from a blog favourite to a firm favourite on One’s to Watch for 2014 lists across the board – from iTunes, Spotify, Vevo and XFM to Clash Magazine, The Independent, Marie Claire, Instyle, The Telegraph and Teen Vogue.
Drawing on a broad range of influences – from the world music of Paul Simon and the experimental orchestral work of African choirs through to 1960’s psychedelia – and mining from the same rich seam as acts such as The Mars Volta, Beirut and Bon Iver, Dan Croll’s eclectic sound has been compared to that of the likes of Vampire Weekend, Alt-J and Beck, to name a few.
Recorded in an abandoned school gym and produced by himself and friends, Dan Croll’s forthcoming album ‘Sweet Disarray’ is not only a collection of expertly crafted songs, but is also set to be hailed as one of 2014’s great debuts. From the synth pop masterpiece ‘From Nowhere’, beautifully melodic ‘Home’, and infectiously moving ‘Sweet Disarray’ to the irresistibly forlorn ‘Can You Hear Me’ and the pan–cultural ‘Compliment Your Soul’, the album showcases Dan Croll’s innate ability to write enchanting songs with an intelligent alt-pop sensibility at every turn.
Having recently inked a global deal with Universal Music, Dan Croll’s music is already dominating the internet, airwaves and venues around the world firmly ensconcing him as one of our most promising young artists for the year ahead.
