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.”
