so stoked about the new friendship bracelet compilation, which dropped TODAY. some really innovative, killer new songs from a bunch of great artists. so pleased to premiere 'can't see my own face' on the comp--- new HTDW, the quais-title-track from our next ep "can't see my own face – the eternal love 2." below is a link to the FB comp--- DOWNLOAD THAT SHIT.

and below that is a stream of 'can't see my own face'--- it's a lil less dreamy & a lil more open, and it's got a realllll pm dawn-y vibe (p.s. that pm dawn song/video is fucking ILL).

TWO FRESH EPS OF TUNES
 FROM HOW TO DRESS WELL

∆ born bodies ∆

 born bodies  by  howtodresswell 

first up it's the 'born bodies' EP,  four more drone&b, abstract pop cuts from yr lo-fi shai boysssss. the first cut samples blackstreet,  'vidilico' samples that one hell of sad michael jackson propaganda video  that always breaks our heart and that we watched more times than we'd care to say this winter.

and, cuz we love to make you love us, here's another collection of tunes from HTDW & cokc dokc

∆ five souls ∆

 five souls  by  howtodresswell

you may have heard 'lover's start (desert voyage)' on the friendship bracelet compilation (which, if you haven't already, you should def download). and you might know '11 years on' from the video we threw up here a bit back. they're both on there PLUS two new cuts 'these visions' (cribbin yeezy) and 'walking this dumb (live)' (which is our four-to-the-floor, triumphal you-can't-just-run-up-on-me-like-that jam). was recorded right before cokc dokc took off on his tokyo jawn (safe travels, boi!).


and, if you've slept on the first four eps, here they are for stream and download once again.

4. ∆ like in the night how the heart becomes the truth ∆
3. ∆ will u sleep ∆
2. ∆ friday morning hymnal ∆
1. ∆ the eternal love ∆


also, got to say::: so much love to everyone who's been showing us so much love. forever, for serious.

til soon,
htdw

PS

∆like in the night how the heart becomes the truth∆

   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.
