El sonido de Rodney Cromwell ha sido comparado al synthpop de los 70 y 80 de Kraftwerk, OMD, Section 25 o New Order, y asimilado a «retro futuristas» contemporaneos como Ghostbox Records. A nivel de letras se le compara con el ingenio sardónico de John Grant.
Proveniente de Catford, en el sur de Londres, Rodney Cromwell es el proyecto en solitario de Adam Cresswell, miembro fundador de la banda de indie-folktronica SALOON (que tuvo cuatro entradas en la lista de John Peel de las 50 canciones más festivas, incluido el nº1 en de 2002, y registró tres sesiones del programa de Peel) y mitad del dúo electrónico ARTHUR & MARTHA (aclamado por los NME, The Guardian y Artrocker). En su ultimo LP, la cantante Alice Hubley (ARTHUR & MARTHA, COSINES) también aparece en el dueto «You Will Struggle».
En el verano de 2015, Rodney Cromwell hizo su debut en festivales como el Indietracks y fue excelentemente bien recibido. Ahora con banda, y tocando sus sintetizadores reventados, está llevando su pop electronico y melódico a nuevas audiencias.
