How To Dress Well Announce New Single

• 18th Jul 2012

Following the sweet sentiment and wistful intimacy of 'Ocean Floor For Everything' – the first song shared from How To Dress Well's debut album Total Loss last month, the beautifully austere 'Cold Nites' represents a more muscular, physical side of Tom's work: an enormous shuffling beat bangs under his familiarly gorgeous chorus-of-one vocals, to exhilarating effect.

'Cold Nites' – recorded with Rodaidh McDonald (The xx, King Krule) last summer – is another sign of the leap in fidelity and ambition / scope his songs have taken since 2010's incredible Love Remains debut and a glimpse into the extremely special and unique internal universe of Total Loss.

“'Cold Nites' is a song about the will to preserve love”, says Krell, “already a miraculous thing in the most hospitable situations – across long distances, challenging times, life's changes – this will to love can give us the most beautiful stability and sense of accomplishment, but can also lead us into totally spiritually rending compromises, split between worlds.”

Total Loss is out on September 17th through Weird World.

Krell will be performing Total Loss material in the UK for the first time on August 8th at London’s Birthdays.
