Dan Croll
There's nothing on Sweet Disarray that you haven't heard on records by Phoenix, Softlightes, Shout Out Louds or a hundred other acts that pump out sweet, melodic pop tunes over a groovy beat. That's not to say Dan Croll is simply another 21st century 'indie pop' *shudder* drone, but there isn't a great deal on his debut to stand him out against the crowd. Plenty of kids will get their kicks from Croll's charming arrangements and quality production, and while this album is better than much in the genre, it's hard to get too excited about it.
