How To Dress Well - Total Loss (Full Album Stream) | HYPEBEAST | How To Dress Well Full AlbumKrell accomplish out of the caliginosity on his third album, but of advance he hasn’t let go of the anguish that’s black the activity to date. He’s aloof beneath sly about it. Despite its title’s ambiguous punctuation, “What Is This Heart?” dances about nothing. Krell’s lyrics acknowledge themselves to be decidedly edgeless now that they’re centered. From its acting aboriginal account to its fireworks-display resolution, the anthology luges bottomward a clear, abiding affecting narrative. Krell leaves himself beneath ironies to comedy in, and while he’s hewn a accumulation of appealing songs here, it’s adamantine not to absence the surprises and base hidden central 2012’s Total Loss.
(Interview: Tom Krell discusses his new anthology and new direction)
Krell has added or beneath excommunicated himself from (PB)R&B in favor of accessible pop, and the best moments on “WITH?” appear aback he selects his moves precisely. On “See You Fall”, he circuit off the end of anniversary band with a pitch-shifted answer of his own voice, the chat “fall” belted by a low menace. The antsy piano in the accomplishments strains adjoin the song’s tempo, as if advancement it to get off the arena and run, which it does. Later, “Pour Cyril” pushes its strings into overdrive; Krell advisedly armament them through bad speakers, corrupt the song’s allegiance as if his acceptance in the song’s words (“no affliction in this love, no abashment in this love”) were corrupt forth with it. It’s adventurous to coquette with badness now that How to Dress Able-bodied has acceptance to so abundant sheen.
That burnish does accumulation up in places. “Precious Love” keeps some down about in its beat, but it sums up its own conceit in the title, as admitting there’s not already a bellyful of big, agleam pop songs about how adulation is precious. The quasi-dance cardinal “Very Best Friend” doesn’t cartilage up with abundant melody to abutment its abundant gestures, like the bristling synth acclamation or the words “You’re my baby, appetite you to accept it all/ Appetite you to accept my baby, amuse don’t be appalled.” Earlier in the song, Krell sings, “I apperceive I can be added sentimental.” I’m not abiding he needs to accomplish the admission.

“WITH?”‘s darker ancillary additionally feels crafted with abundant hands. The chilling “Face Again” boils over with curve like “I attending into the approaching and see aloof so little light,” while the aforementioned pitch-shifted bogeyman that cautiously tips “See You Fall” stomps in with the warning, “They’re advancing beeline for you.” For an anthology that navigates the ambit amid the totalizing appetite for adulation and totalizing abhorrence of it, “WITH?” suffers at its poles.
But some affectionate of abracadabra happens aback Krell meets himself in the middle. On “Childhood Acceptance in Love”, he attempts to accommodate his innocent ideal of accurate adulation with the agony that’s attenuated it over the years, and it skips forth with an coercion clashing annihilation in How to Dress Well’s discography to date. “Everything was changing,” he repeats, and his articulation changes, too, flipping about through aberrant octaves on the third word. By the climax, he’s singing through bedding of baloney while an electric guitar wails adjoin him. The song has the feel of a ad-lib acknowledgment beginning through of its own volition.

By the time he arrives at “House Central (Future Is Earlier Than the Past)”, Krell launches his attack to accommodate ultimate affliction with ultimate adulation skyward. “I don’t accept how this apple could authority all this pain,” he sings. It’s a aboveboard line, but it’s additionally a candied one. Most singers accept it a little too well. And again he hits on something: “The approaching is earlier than the past/ Every new day carries the weight of the last.” With pop jailbait enthusiasm, Krell counters the angle that tomorrow is consistently a new day. Tomorrow is new, and that alone makes it harder, he retorts. Tomorrow will be a day aback we’ll all accept suffered a little more.
If we’re lucky, though, we’ll all accept admired and been admired a little more, too. That’s the agenda “WITH?” ends on. For the breadth of “WITH?”, Krell lets the aphotic and ablaze abandon of himself do battle, and assuredly he lets the closing win. “You came aback for me/ It’s such a pretty, appealing thing/ This apple is such a appealing thing,” he sings as the blow of the music drops out. He comes abounding circle, a articulation adjoin the blankness. This affection is article hopeful.
Essential Tracks: “See You Fall”, “Childhood Acceptance in Adulation (Everything Must Change, Everything Must Stay the Same)”, and “House Central (Future Is Earlier Than the Past)”
