Drawing on a broad range of influences – from the world music of Paul Simon and the experimental orchestral work of African choirs through to 1960s psychedelia – and mining from the same rich seam as acts such as The Mars Volta, Beirut and Bon Iver, Dan Croll’s eclectic and intelligent alt-pop sound has been compared to that of the likes of Vampire Weekend, Alt-J and Grizzly Bear.

Having inked a global deal with Universal Music – who are releasing him through Capitol Records in the US and Deram Records in the UK – March saw the release of Dan Croll’s synth-pop masterpiece, ‘From Nowhere’, alongside the enchanting ‘Only Ghost’, quickly followed by his debut album Sweet Disarray.
