Having been almost completely silent since the release of his highly-praised LP 'The Anteroom' in 2018, How To Dress Well has now announced his plans for a new studio album, arriving in the coming months.
The new full-length 'I Am Toward You' marks his first new material in six years, is being previewed by the new lead singles 'New Confusion' and 'No Light', and is set to be released on the 10th May via Sargent House.
Speaking about 'New Confusion', he said, "It's about how to relate to the past knowing the hard limits on human memory and the challenges of metabolizing intergenerational-anthropogenetic trauma. “At best regret, at worst forgetfulness,” I sing in the chorus – a tortured concept of memory, no doubt. But I also sing that there is a path to freedom from this bind."
While adding about 'No Light', "'No Light' is a song about contemporary LA, a place simply teeming with unspeakable suffering. It is, like LA, paradoxically and fundamentally also a bop. It’s a song I wrote after an interaction I had during the pandemic, something like a scene from Mulholland Drive, a young woman crawling across the ground in the alley behind my house in a white dress screaming about a ‘pig mask.’"
