How to Dress Well - Total Loss - COMPACT DISCS [CD]

A new album from How to Dress Well, titled The Anteroom, will be out October 19th on Domino. Co-produced by Joel Ford (Ford & Lopatin, Airbird), this record plays as a single continuous piece of 21st century psychedelic music and features Krell's most bewitching sound experimentation to date. Moreover, the stories Krell sings on this record - some biographical, many from the most knotted corners of human life - are deeply personal and human(e). The Anteroom - with it's blizzardous electronic noise, fragile melodies and poignant poetry - reclaims the experimental core of the HTDW project. Double 180 gram heavyweight vinyl LP housed in a gatefold LP jacket that includes a 16 pg panel fold out poster and a download card. The LP features a different cover to the CD .

In his 13 years recording as How to Dress Well, LA-based musician Tom Krell has played with the concept of what we hear and how we communicate in order to create music that exists somewhere between celestial transcendence and an outsider approach to what pop music can be. In Krell's musical world, the weight of a sample comes from his history with it, the meaning of a lyric fragment is stretched and distorted, it's core skirting universal interpretation in favor of specificity. On new album InchI Am Toward YouInch, his first new music in nearly six years, Krell was in search of a return to the open-hearted, uncynical approach to music making that he adopted as a kid, and carried through the of his haunting breakthrough debut, 2010's Love Remains, when he was making music in relative anonymity with little external pressure. He sifted through hundreds of snippets he'd recorded in the preceding decade, finding inexplicable samples and snatches of audio that began to cohere into an album that stripped back the density of previous albums to create some of his noisiest, most free, and most poetic music to date.
