Mistletone

Mistletone proudly presents How To Dress Well, aka Brooklyn-via-Cologne’s Tom Krell, on his first ever Australian tour. How To Dress Well’s unique brand of reverb-soaked, ethereal, heart-on-sleeve glo-fi comes to Phoenix Public House on Saturday 3rd December, with special guests Oscar & Martin and Wintercoats. Tickets on sale now from Moshtix.

Garnering inspiration from a broad range of artistic, cinematic, philosophical, and musical sources, How To Dress Well is provocative and compelling music. Tom Krell’s disarmingly beautiful vocal lines are as angelic as they are harrowing; his voice seems to swell up out of nowhere, the multiple tracks colliding with each other to form stirring, otherworldly harmonies, overtones, and distortions. Krell’s compositions are abstract and yet unmistakably pop and r&b; an exploration of voice and sound that transgresses typical expectations about song structure to evoke enthralling images of what is left of love after it is broken, and how to find in ourselves those places and moments where love remains.

How To Dress Well has appeared at the Sonar Festival, OFF Festival, Rokslide Festival, London’s XOYO, and completed sold out tours of Europe & North America and headline shows around the world. How To Dress Well is currently signed to Tri-Angle records, recently named the #1 indie label of the year by the American Billboard. Last year’s record Love Remains by How To Dress Well is a shimmering diamond of a release, fusing almost apathetic ambience with emotional intensity and fiercely intelligent production. It’s an understated record that draws on unexpected influences and is somehow simultaneously brutally honest and deliberately opaque. In a live setting, How To Dress Well brings this intensity and emotional ambiguity to the foreground for what is sure to be a spellbinding show.
