HOW TO DRESS WELL RELEASES NEW TRACKS TO HIGH PRAISE 

“How to Dress Well has announced his first album since 2018. The new album, I Am Toward You, comes out on May 10 via Sargent House. The Los Angeles musician is previewing his new project today with two songs, “New Confusion” and “No Light,” which he made with CFCF, Anarthia DLT, and Hundred Waters’ Trayer Tryon. Check them out below.”

"The follow-up to 2018's The Anteroom features 11 tracks and has been almost four years in the making, with Krell starting the project in 2020. Work began on the album following a period of "clandestine and occult meditation" after intense touring, which saw him undergo two weeks of complete silence and multiple multi-day meditations, as well as the use of psychedelic medicine. "I had to reorient myself towards music in a purer and less restrictive way in order to retrieve what has made music one of the most heart-opening, instructive phenomena in my life," Krell said in a statement."

"It’s been six years since How To Dress Well’s most recent album The Anteroom. Since then, we’ve observed the 10-year anniversary of debut album Love Remains. Today, Tom Krell is announcing his new LP I Am Toward You and releasing the singles “New Confusion” and “No Light.”

LOUDER: BOTCH ON BECOMING HARDCORE LEGENDS 

"Some bands, it seems, can only be spoken about in hushed tones and reverential terms. Normally these are the artists who influenced a genre to the point where they basically invented a new one, or whose creative lifespan was so short but memorable that they left people wondering if there was any hope of a revival.

Botch did both of these things. A quartet of self-described "misfits" from Tacoma, Washington, with just two albums and three EPs they unintentionally changed the shape of punk to come for the next two decades."

DISCOGS: 6 ALBUMS THAT INFLUENCED BRIAN COOK OF RUSSIAN CIRCLES, BOTCH 

“Brian Cook has been collecting records and making music for over 30 years, since forming seminal – and recently reunited – metalcore band Botch while still in high school to more recent work with Russian Circles and Sumac. A self-taught musician, his innovative bass playing with these bands and others has been hugely influential in the world of heavy music and beyond. And while his record collecting reflects that background, it also reveals a more diverse set of inspiration and influences behind his musical life. We sat down with Cook to talk about record collecting and the albums that influenced each of his musical projects.”

How many records do you own?

“I’d guess I have somewhere in between two and three thousand records, probably closer to three. At least a couple hundred of those are test presses and variants of records I’ve played on. I used to try to keep one of every color and pressing of everything my bands put out, but I’ve started slipping on that in recent years.”

What was the first record you bought?

“My first LP was Shadowy Men on a Shadowy Planet‘s Savvy Show Stoppers LP, bought for $2 at Jelly’s Comics in Honolulu in the early ‘90s. I was fourteen years old and obsessed with Kids in the Hall, and SMOASP did their theme song. I still have it too. If we’re including cassettes, then I actually had a bunch of ’80s Chicago albums when I was, like, ten years old. I loved Peter Cetera.”
