my new album is in many ways a lifelong collaboration with my brother dan. he passed away last night after becoming very sick, very suddenly. a strange twist of fate to release this now without him, but it’s a godsend to be able to honor him🕊️🤍

How To Dress Well - I Am Toward You
well this is achingly gorgeous. only my first listen but I'm feeling it more than anything he's released since Total Loss. can't help thinking about how Tom's brother died just last night and now he's got this new work out in the world

“it sounds like someone shattering pop music like a glass and putting the pieces back together again. it pulls as much from glistening beauty as it does from noise. It’s a deeply experimental album made by a person that also clearly has a deep love for pure pop music.” 👼🏻🩻😀
Noise meets delicacy and beauty on How To Dress Well's first album in 6 years. Our review: brooklynvegan.com/knocked-lo…

working w me involves dealing w my truly luddite, “first thought best thought” sampling processes. i just believe that music is everywhere — don’t be an average gearhead/ DAW obsessive be a circumambient sound enjoyer.

probably the deepest i've ever been able to go about the meaning of my music and, roughly speaking, my philosophical views. i end many thoughts w the phrase: "that's a lot" and we laugh, because of how much ground we cover. i've never felt compelled to share this much before...

as Hegel puts it, "we learn by experience that we meant something other than we meant to mean; and this correction of our meaning compels us to go back and understand it in another way." also, freudian method of treating pure free associations as portal to self-understanding 🔑
