Our Take

HOW TO DRESS WELL's latest offering, The Anteroom, is a mesmerising descent into the depths of experimental pop. From the opening track, listeners are plunged into a sonic whirlpool of haunting vocals, glitchy beats, and ethereal synths.

Each song on the album is a sonic labyrinth, with layers upon layers of sound that ebb and flow like a tumultuous ocean. The production is top-notch, with every note and sound meticulously crafted to create a sense of otherworldly beauty.

Tom Krell's vocals are the true standout of The Anteroom, effortlessly gliding between falsetto whispers and powerful belting. His lyrics are introspective and poetic, exploring themes of love, loss, and existential dread.

Tracks like "Body Fat" and "Nonkilling 6 | Hunger" showcase Krell's ability to blend R&B, electronic, and ambient influences into a cohesive and captivating sound. The album's highlight, "Vacant Boat," is a stunning showcase of Krell's vocal range and songwriting prowess.

Overall, The Anteroom is a bold and innovative addition to HOW TO DRESS WELL's discography. It's a challenging listen, but one that rewards repeat listens with new layers of beauty and complexity. In a musical landscape cluttered with cookie-cutter pop, The Anteroom stands out as a true work of art.
