Amoeba Review

Billy Gil, Hollywood 05/22/2013

Total Loss slightly ups the fidelity from its predecessor, Love Remains, but Tom Krell remains shrouded in reverb for much of the record. As before, it casts an enchanting spell, but importantly, Krell breaks through by opening up, either by indulging his inner Prince on the snap-along jam “& It Was U” and the “Purple Rain”-esque “Talking to You.” And the heartache of “Set It Right” is completely his own, a naked statement of loss set to walls of distorted samples.

An album about grief that can also be read as a colossal breakup record, How to Dress Well’s follow-up to his acclaimed Love Remains still feels intimate and bedroom-made, with some production improvements necessary to make the emotions of the “Purple Rain”-esque “Talking to You” and the beats of “& It Was U” come through even harder. Total Loss makes for a thoroughly engrossing listen as it weaves Tom Krell’s heartfelt falsetto through reverb-laden loops, every song feeling like that ethereal moment in the chorus of Mariah Carey’s “We Belong Together” where time stops still as that breathy vocal drenches everything in sadness.
