Emerging adulthood

"... Croll is as much a curator of nifty sounds and gimmicks as he is a songwriter (perhaps even more so), and you often get the impression his words and melodies are merely an excuse to upend the musical toybox and have a good rummage around. Occasionally he lands on a flourish that expresses something specific" ... More often though, he's happy to settle for novelty alone. And while that's no crime, it's unlikely to set your world on fire either".

"Though 'Emerging Adulthood' does push Croll far out of his personal comfort zone to a certain extent, it does feel like he could go further with the complexity. Nevertheless his musicianship is undeniable, as each and every instrument on the record is played by himself. It's a vital sign that Croll's only just coming truly into his own".
