<p class="MsoNormal"><i>New York, NY – January 24, 2014 – </i>Today, <b>Dan Croll</b> is thrilled to announce the release of his highly-anticipated debut LP entitled
<b><i>Sweet Disarray</i></b> on <b>April 1<sup>st</sup>, 2014</b> via <b>Capitol Records</b>. The twelve-track collection was created with producer Joe Wills in an abandoned primary school gym equipped with an old badminton court and climbing ropes in Liverpool,
which perhaps suits the ex-rugby player quite well. To celebrate the release of his album, Dan created a brand new video directed by
<b>Mathy + Fran </b>(Bloody Beetroots, Diagrams) for the song that first put him in the spotlight –
<b>“From Nowhere.”</b> <b><a href="http://www.spin.com/articles/dan-croll-enters-high-stakes-staring-contest-in-from-nowhere-video/">PRESS HERE</a></b> to watch the video on
<b><i>SPIN.com</i></b>!<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><b><i>Sweet Disarray</i></b> encompasses the full scope of Dan Croll’s illustrious songwriting. His ability to write intricate harmonies paired with instrumental variety, layered with Afro-beats and rhythmic complexities all are apparent
throughout the album and highlighted with the song, <b>“Always Like This”</b>. After opening with
<b>“From Nowhere,”</b> the album goes on with a mix of playful love songs like <b>
“Thinkin Aboutchu”</b> to the intimate and emotional ballad <b>“Sweet Disarray,”</b> which was written about his grandmother experiencing the onset of Alzheimer’s.
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">At 23-years old Dan has already received accolades for his prolific songwriting abilities and musicianship, and has been named as an “Artist to Watch in 2014” by
<i>Vevo, iTunes, CBS Radio/Radio.com </i>and many more. Dan not only graduated from the Liverpool Institute for the Performing Arts, but was also granted the opportunity to work with the legendary
<b>Sir Paul McCartney</b>, and won the National Songwriter of the Year Award from the Musician’s Benevolent Fund. Dan’s music and tastes have been described as “genre-jumping,” and he has drawn comparisons to Paul Simon, Beck, Prince, Passion Pit and Beirut
among others, and has been praised by the likes of <i>The Guardian</i>, <i>Q magazine</i>,
<i>Under the Radar</i>, <i>Time</i>, <i>Interview</i>, and <i>Nylon</i>. <o:p></o:p></p>
