Blogosphere favorites Shlohmo and How to Dress Well have combined forces on "Don't Say No." I'm a bit surprised I didn't hear the sound of the internet exploding when this one hit Soundcloud. It is, by and large, precisely what you'd expect, with Shlohmo bringing the murky-sexy-soul atmosphere and Tom Krell packing the aching and, by the end, soaring nu-R n' B vocals. The track's slow build, subtly shifting instrumentation, and quietly blistering outro feel like steps forward for both parties, however, a potential sum greater than the whole of the parts situation spurred on [...]
mp3: How To Dress Well - & It Was U (Elite Gymnastics Remix) "& It Was U" was one of our favorite songs of 2012 and remixes for the track have been plentiful. Here's a fresh take on it by Elite Gymnastics. Also, check out the official video for the original track below.
How To Dress Well 's "& It Was U" remains one of our favourite tracks of 2012, in part due to it's fantastically bare-bones production, so filling in the gaps with anything probably should have resulted in total disaster. But Elite Gymnastics deftly outfits the track with a slinking rhythm and the most delicate synths, creating something propulsive that rivals the skyward trajectory of the original.

How to Dress Well makes you want to get undressed.
“…the lyrics are blind baggage, and they emerge only in snatches…such a style seems to link up with an older tradition – the tradition of the American artist to put his story in disguise, to tell his tale from the shadows, probably because that is where he usually finds it. Those who mean to seduce do not announce their intention through megaphones.” – Greil Marcus (on The Band, Mystery Train ) Apparently, the record that was to become Total Loss was scrapped, in creator Tom Krell’s words , because [...]
How To Dress Well - Total Loss Acéphale: 2012 Because of this little thing we like to call the Internet, indie music no longer has to be regional. In the ‘90s, a lot of music could be identified by a regional sound. In an area like the American Northwest, for example, you could hear a cohesive sound and attitude among artists like Elliott Smith, Built to Spill, and Modest Mouse. These days, musicians can sit in their bedroom and attract millions of listeners without ever performing publicly. We, as critics, have not [...]
