The ever-consistent Dan Croll will return with his new album Fools on May 19th via Communion Records and has since hit back with his new single “Slip Away.”
The track has a classic singer-songwriting style and warmth that feels almost too good to be true in this day and age. It feels like a mix of Tobias Jesso Jr. and Flyte with a bit of that Dan Croll charm.
Speaking on “Slip Away”, Croll adds:
“I recently hit my five-year milestone of living in Los Angeles, and “Slip Away” is about the fatigue and struggle I’ve felt over the past year. It’s frequently had me questioning how realistic it is to carry on living here, and whether draining my savings, living without healthcare, and being so far away from home/family is really worth it.
I found myself on occasions fantasizing about throwing in the towel and slipping away into a much simpler life, a life possibly even outside of the music industry. Having been in music my entire adult life, a part of me has wondered whether I could ever exist outside of it. A 9-to-5 job has always been something I’ve seen from the outside looking in, and to me, the structure and steadiness have always been so attractive. “Slip Away” is about the lure of escaping to a simpler existence.”
Enjoy a listen to “Slip Away” below where you can also find the previously released album track/single “How Close We Came” which also carries the torch of classic songwriting efforts from a better time.
