Total Loss (CD)
How To Dress Well
Amoeba Review
An album about grief that can also be read as a colossal breakup record, How to Dress Well’s follow-up to his acclaimed Love Remains still feels intimate and bedroom-made, with some production improvements necessary to make the emotions of the “Purple Rain”-esque “Talking to You” and the beats of “& It Was U” come through even harder. Total Loss makes for a thoroughly engrossing listen as it weaves Tom Krell’s heartfelt falsetto through reverb-laden loops, every song feeling like that ethereal moment in the chorus of Mariah Carey’s “We Belong Together” where time stops still as that breathy vocal drenches everything in sadness.
