Dan Croll releases video for 'Actor With A Loaded Gun'

Dan Croll has released his video for his brand new song ‘Actor With A Loaded Gun.’

Having last week released his second double a-side single of 2020, today Dan Croll unveils the video for ‘Actor With A Loaded Gun’ shot in his local diner in Los Angeles, where he relocated 18-months ago (more on that later!)

Giving some insight into the track and it’s visual, Dan explains:

“When I moved to LA I knew hardly anybody, I was spending a lot of time alone stressing about the fact that I had to make an entirely new social circle. One of those places I found a bit of solace from was my local diner, and so we thought ‘Actor’ would be the perfect fit for this location.”

Speaking about the new singles Dan gives some insight:

“I wrote ‘Rain’ as I was packing my belongings a few days before the move to California. I knew the weather was good, I’d been to LA a couple of times on tour (mainly in the summer) and it was always hot and sunny, but this was near winter and I was unsure about how many coats and jumpers to pack (the typical British problem of having to own so many). I asked a friend of a friend and they bluntly told me not to bring any. I found that hard to believe, especially when he said it never rains, which I guess I found a little sad, as it’s obviously a big part of British life, to not have even a little bit of it would be strange. Since moving, I still don’t own a coat, there is no need, and while it has rained a handful of times it’s still definitely something I miss about home.

‘Actor’ is about my first step into the social aspect of L.A. life, I didn’t know anyone in Los Angeles, and had to rely on one friend of a friend. He did a great deal for me to get me on my feet, including inviting me to some parties. The first one I went to I was so nervous about, it’d been years since I’d ever needed to actively make a friend and was desperately trying to remember how to. My social anxiety was in full swing when I was there, and I was trying to not tank every conversation, but what I weirdly found comforting was that a good chunk of people there were pretty awful, hilariously so in fact, the stereotypical LA social climbers, and it somehow calmed my nerves to know I’d be ok here because at the end of the day, I wasn’t there to be an actor.”
