How To Dress Well (US)

Can fans of Justin Vernon and Justin Timberlake find any common ground? Late 2009 saw the appearance of an artist who proved that it was possible. His free EPs, published online, electrified the blogosphere: Who was he? Where did he come from and when was the album coming out? It all cleared up in 2010. How To Dress Well turned out to be a certain Tom Krell, a philosophy student splitting his time between Cologne and Brooklyn. His 2010 album Love Remains made it onto critics’ lists of the most promising debuts of the year. Krell’s melancholy lo-fi pop and ethereal r’n’b, garnished with a hypnotic, brittle voice, is addictive and hard to forget.
