Description
Arriving two years after the haunting, glacial neosoul of 2012s much-loved Total Loss, What Is This Heart? is the next step in Tom Krell, AKA How To Dress Wells unique and searching artistic trajectory.
The albums twelve songs were conceived and written during months of gruelling international touring and realised with producer Rodaidh McDonald in a Berlin studio in the height of summer 2013. The result is an ambitious 21st century pop album that takes influence from artists as varied as Prince, Bill Callahan, Burial and Tracy Chapman as well as Krells oft-cited R&B influences, managing to exist in a perfectly judged hinterland of fragility, sexuality and overwhelming joy as a result.
An album that celebrates the healing power of American pop music in all its various guises, What Is This Heart? once again asserts Krell as an artist of great courage, taste and craft.
