HOW TO DRESS WELL (USA) LIVE
Tom Krell makes ghostly, lo-fi R&B under the moniker How to Dress
Well, a name he stumbled upon and adopted as his own in a Minneapolis
bookstore in 2004. As a little boy, Krell loved late-‘80s and
early-‘90s R&B artists including Keith Sweat and Ready for the
World, however in high school he played in various metal and hardcore
bands, then switched to making drone-based music in his twenties.
Krell made live experimental music by looping layers of his voice
while he was living in Brooklyn, but it was when he moved to Cologne,
Germany and collaborated with the likeminded artist cokc dokc that he
began recording under that name. Krell blended his childhood love of
R&B with the abstract noise of Black Dice, filtering it all through
lo-fi recording techniques. He released the first How to Dress Well
EP, The Eternal Love, in October 2009 as a free download via his blog,
and more EPs followed at the rate of about one per month through April
2010.
Krell signed to Lefse Records, which released his first official
single, Ready for the World, in July 2010 and How to Dress Well's
debut album, Love Remains, that October to critical acclaim from such
music authorities as Pitchfork, Spin Magazine, Fronteir Psychiatrist
and more.
