Dan Croll is a British singer-songwriter known for his catchy indie pop tunes. Born in Newcastle-under-Lyme, Staffordshire, England, he moved to Liverpool at 18 to attend the Liverpool Institute for Performing Arts (LIPA). During his time at LIPA, Croll won the national Songwriter of the Year award and had a one-to-one session with LIPA founder Sir Paul McCartney.
In 2012, Croll released his debut single "From Nowhere" which gained popularity after being featured on the soundtrack of Grand Theft Auto 5. The song reached #36 on the Billboard Alternative chart and received airplay in both the UK and US. He followed up with two more singles before releasing his full debut LP "Sweet Disarray" in 2014.
Since then, Croll has continued to release music including singles like "One Of Us" and has signed with Communion Music Label. In 2017, he released his second full-length album "Emerging Adulthood." After relocating to Los Angeles in 2018, Croll embarked on solo concerts and festivals before recording his third album at Spacebomb Studios with producer Matthew E. White and The Spacebomb House Band.

The sumptuous Fools, Dan's fourth album, follows 2020's Grand Plan, a critical hit which captured his early experiences of life in LA and effortlessly exchanged his synth-pop of the past for sepia-tinged folk rock with Laurel Canyon leanings

It jumps forward, through Covid to the end of an intense three year relationship,&nbsp;the death of Dan's grandmother back in Britain and rare trips home as restrictions&nbsp;lifted. Sonically it spreads its net wider -– country, disco and woozy psychedelic join the Carole King and James Taylor nods on Grand Plan.&nbsp;A death, a pandemic and a break- up could have made for a sombre sounding&nbsp;album, but Dan took a different route, finding beauty where he could and poking&nbsp;fun at his own foolishness.

Both albums were recorded largely live at the legendary Spacebomb Studios in&nbsp;Richmond, Virginia with Matthew E. White (Natalie Prass, Flo Morrissey, Slow&nbsp;Club) and his four-piece house band. This time, Dan co-produced, tinkering with&nbsp;sounds late into the night to add his own stamp to the record.
