Dan Croll‘s intertwined that idiosyncratic soft ’70s sound with his own mellow indie pop rock formulas for his latest EP On Top, out this Friday.

The Western Civilization: “If You’re Lucky”

It’s been a tough week across Central Texas. Hundreds of thousands are still without power. Agitations over limited amenities reveal just how much we depend on electricity and WiFi to fully participate in our “advanced society”.
