How to Dress Well
What is This Heart? (out June 23 on Weird World)
Earlier today, Tom Krell began making his case for album of the year by streaming his highly-anticipated third LP. I’ve been through it twice, and it’s certainly a stunning statement — a brave foray into the purest, most direct aspects of pop music. It’s an album full of ideas and big leaps — see: the pop-punk recalling “Childhood Faith In Love (Everything Must Change, Everything Must Stay The Same) — that firmly places him as an artist operating outside of any ancillary scenes or trends. With time, I also think it’s an album that places him as one of the very best, most interesting artists in music right now.
