HOW TO DRESS WELL
“What Is This Heart?”
(June 24th, 2014; Weird World)

[HTDW - Album Art - FOR EMAIL]

Arriving two years after the haunting, glacial neo-soul of 2012’s much-loved Total Loss, Tom Krell – under the moniker How To Dress Well - will release his third album “What Is This Heart?” on June 24th (June 23rd in the rest of the world) via Weird World<http://smarturl.it/htdwwithwwnews>. Since the release of his debut Love Remains in 2010, Krell has crafted a reputation as one of America’s most original, focused and beguiling young songwriters and “What Is This Heart?” finds HTDW at the top of his game. Today, Krell shares the lead single off of the album entitled “Repeat Pleasure”- PRESS HERE<http://smarturl.it/htdwrepeat> to listen to it now, and PRESS HERE<http://smarturl.it/htdwwords> to listen to the recently unveiled “Words I Don’t Remember.”

Merging ever surprising production choices and aesthetic detail with a sensual but sincere R&B influence and a deep, grounded emotionality, “What Is This Heart?” is the next step in Tom Krell’s unique and searching artistic trajectory and asserts him as an artist of great courage, taste and craft. Its twelve songs were conceived and written during months of grueling international touring and realized with producer Rodaidh McDonald (Vampire Weekend, The xx, Savages, Adele) in Berlin, and the result is an ambitious 21st century pop album that takes influence from artists as varied as Prince, Lou Reed, Burial and Tracy Chapman.

More confident, daring and open than any How to Dress Well release thus far, “What Is This Heart?” is at once Krell’s most deeply personal work and also his most universal in resonance. It is a record that delves into the core of the psyche and touches on themes of isolation, loss and existential anguish, but in the end finds redemption in the infinite possibilities of love.  The songs tackle ideas of anxiety, fear, lack of control, nightmare, death, pain, pleasure, pride and shame, trust and commitment with an honesty and intimacy that is rare in the modern age.

“What Is This Heart?” will be available on CD, double LP and deluxe limited edition double LP. The deluxe LP is limited to 1000 copies worldwide and comes enclosed in a PVC wallet; the album on double 180gram heavyweight vinyl in a deluxe gatefold sleeve; a 28 page 12”x12” booklet; a bonus one-sided etched 10” featuring two exclusive songs “Let U Know” and “So Easy for Pleasure.”

Pre-order the album from Weird World<http://smarturl.it/hdtwwithww> or iTunes<http://smarturl.it/htdwwithitunes> and receive an instant mp3 download of “Repeat Pleasure” and “Words I Don’t Remember.”
