Brooklyn's very own '90s lo-fi R&B replicator, How to Dress Well, is slated to follow-up his stark 2010 debut album, Love Remains, with the release of Total Loss, out September 18th on Acéphale Records. This cut, "& It Was U", is the newest single, and if it's indicative of the rest of the album, the lo connected to that -fi is here to stay, albeit with a little more flare. This propulsive track is indebted to the style of the golden age of R&B - the Age Ain't Nothing But a Number days - and contains a similar swing to R. Kelly's early production work. "& It Was U" grows wider and crisper as it progresses, slowly picking up scraps of R&B nostalgia with every snap beat, while Tom Krell continues to one-up himself vocally - reaching higher and higher with each rotation.

Check out How to Dress Well on tour this fall. Dates here.

Here's the previously released cut from Total Loss, "Cold Nites".

"This aint no bedroom recording!"

L.A. up-and-comer turned all star Active Child dropped the first single today for his upcoming debut full length You are All I See, out August 23 on Vagrant Records. "Playing House" features Active Child's well known harp skills and crystalline synth lines, with guest vocals from How To Dress Well's R&B-minded Tom Krell. This smooth jam displays more swagger than you can shake a stick at, and these boys are getting plenty of shakes. Don't believe me, just visit Active Child's facebook - homeboy's been getting blown up all day.

You Are All I See is the follow-up to 2010's out of nowhere and completely irresistible Curtis Lane EP. After extensive touring with groups like the trio-turned-duo and Vagrant label mates School of Seven Bells, Patrick Grossi, A.K.A. Active Child, gained a strong following and a record deal. After wrapping up a tour with the UK's electro output James Blake, the self-proclaimed "hymntronic" artist announced the release of the single yesterday to the great anticipation of many. If You Are All I See is anything like the evocative and haunting sounds of Curtis Lane, it's sure to make many end of the year top record lists.

You can stream the silky new track over at Pitchfork.
