How To Dress Well @ Hidden Agenda – 8:30pm, 6 March 2013

How To Dress Well @ Hidden Agenda – 8:30pm, 6 March 2013
Hidden Agenda celebrates its 4th Anniversary with a series of concerts, the second of which features How to Dress Well supported by Snowblind.
How To Dress Well is the stage name of songwriter and producer Tom Krell. Krellʼs burgeoning career began in 2009 when, having just moved from Brooklyn to Berlin, his songs began to emerge online via a string of free, digital EPs posted in anonymity on his blog. Combining a gorgeous falsetto with fractured R&B-influenced beats, a subtly devastating melody and elements of noise, sound collage and avant-garde composition, Krellʼs debut album Love Remains offered a beautiful window into a startlingly realised artistic imagination. Its conceptual strength and emotional resonance ensured Love Remains garnered critical acclaim and tracks such as “Ready For The World” saw Krell accredited with having given birth to a new, narcotized strain of R&B that has since spawned a host of imitators.
Krell states that his second release Total Loss, which expands the moodiness and layers of swarming voices of his debut, as “an opening-up”, describing it as an “album about sharing”, “Iʼm trying to use this sharing to orient my life— call it true hope, or love.”

Grimes + Ami Dang @ KITEC – 7.30pm, 18 March 2013

Grimes + Ami Dang @ KITEC – 7.30pm, 18 March 2013
Claire Boucher aka Grimes cannot read music and has no understanding of music theory or notation. This results in songs that are particularly unique, strangely beautiful, sometimes scary, frequently melancholic and catchy as hell.
Grimes is weird pop influenced by styles such as (to name a few) R&B, Industrial, goth, hip hop and Western medieval organum. She is noted for simple but strong percussion, vocal virtuosity, and addictive melodies. Despite having little acquaintance with music before the age of 18, Boucher (22) has overcome this barrier and used it to her advantage, exploding onto the music scene with a sound that is that is far different from that of her peers, and extremely broad in it’s references (Mariah Carey, Salem, Cocteau Twins, Gang Gang Dance, The Smiths, Prince). And yet, while all Grimes songs are different and genre-bending, there is a strong sound that is fully her own, characterized primarily by her chameleon-like voice. The Montreal native will be coming to Hong Kong for an unforgettable night at KITEC’s MusicZone on March 18th.
