   like in the night how the heart becomes the truth  by  howtodresswell


more lo-fi shai from your boyz htdw & cokc dokc.

the first cut samples debussy --- i encourage you to listen to this one super high on headphones. trust me.
the second cut samples AIDS 3D (and is definitely the most straightforward pop song we've done). track three sounds best REALLY loud --- it's good to remember the noise.
track four is an official banger. the fifth and final cut is yet another abstract pop tune. ya.

don't forget the other jams --- they're down there below nate dogg.

ummm....

∆ 'will u sleep' ∆

so like ya here's 3"cd ep #3 from how to dress well & cokc dokc. it's called 'will u sleep' and it's a lil gloomy maybe. or it feels that way to me. us.

will u sleep by howtodresswell



and, again, (and again, DUH) the first two 3"cd eps came out over the last 2 months. first was 'the eternal love' and then there was 'friday morning hymnal.' i'll post them below.
