Influences
Billy Corgan's birthmarks, Edith Piaf's brothel, the blood that runs from Wayne Coyne's forehead, Morrissey's gladiolas, Neko Case's animal dreams, Ian McCulloch's hair products, the church that R.E.M. used to live and rehearse in, Julian Casablancas' hangover, and Richey Manic's razorblade

"POP SUBVERSION"

"sharply regimented keyboards, drum machines and guitars serving as a bed for buoyant pop lines about amorous isolation and disappointment" -The Independent Weekly (NC)
"droning e-bowed guitar, break-beat percussion line created by key and guitar loops, and haunting low-toned guitar over everything. An increasingly energetic and streamlined finish represents Crosson's ability to manufacture mature pop songs right at the edge of milking their catchiness, while retaining maturity in his lyrics" -Mountain Xpress
"...touts a light touch and an arresting melody. Crosson writes very catchy indie pop numbers that -- at least as recorded -- bear none of the undesirable hallmarks of the solitary musician." -jay breitling, clicky clicky music blog
"Think Thom Yorke's stunning bleakness, implying windblown shores and decaying cities, but view it with an optimistic eye and scatter references to Catholic dogma throughout. Really, really stunning." -Hawk Season
"...spectral, drifting and sometimes grandiose. Dup sounds adrift at sea, and he’s not sure whether it’s a good thing or not...somewhere between a sneer and despairing sigh" -Russell's Reviews
