How to Dress Well announces tour; new single out now

How To Dress Well recently returned with a new single, his first new original music since 2016’s Care (and his first music since his 2017 Sheryl Crow cover for Our First 100 Days). It’s called Land Of The Overflowing Urn, and it features the seven-minute suite “Vacant Boat (shred) | Nonkilling 1 | The Anteroom | False Skull 1,” plus a second track with just “The Anteroom” on its own. It’s an experimental but approachable dose of dark, downtempo, electronic pop, and if you haven’t heard it, it’s very worth hearing. Listen below.

HTDW also now announced a world tour, and says, “this first run of shows is about playing this new music live in an intimate, immersive way — solo performances with intense focus on sound design and captivating, mangled video art produced in collaboration with NOH/WAVE (Los Angeles).” He also promises that more news is coming soon. (A new album?)

The tour includes a Brooklyn show on November 14 at Good Room. Tickets for that show go on sale Friday (7/27) at 10 AM. All dates are listed below.
