Aug 31, 2016 By Christopher Roberts Photography by Ben Trinklebank How to Dress Well

How to Dress Well (aka Tom Krell) is releasing a new album, Care, on September 23 via Weird World/Domino. Previously he shared a video for the album’s first single, “Lost Youth / Lost You.” Now here’s another song from the album, “What’s Up.” Listen below. Krell also recently shared a brief a cappella version of the song, which is also below, followed by How to Dress Well’s upcoming tour dates.

Krell had this to say about the song in a press release: “Recently I’ve been feeling like our artistic culture hyper-invests in seriousness and leaves all pleasure and fun to be taken care of by basically banal forms of pop—-and those don’t really yield pleasure and fun in any deep way. For me, I don’t think everything needs to be serious to be profound. With ‘What’s Up,’ I wanted to just dig into the idea that fun and pleasure can be profound, or just be fun and pleasure, and that can be profound in its own way.”

Care was written by Krell and features production from him, along with Jack Antonoff, Dre Skull, CFCF, and Kara-Lis Coverdale. It is How to Dress Well’s fourth album.
