The Interview Show with How To Dress Well (podcast edition) #242

I met Tom Krell, the main man behind How to Dress Well, at soundcheck. He was negotiating with his band just how they were going to tweak his song "& It Was U" for the show that night. After the band had figured out the song, Tom and me hung out for a bit. He had a bit of a tour cold and you can hear him sniffling as we chat. Which HTDW song is a "consent pop song" and "sex positivity anthem"? Do I get Tom to talk about his dissertation length research project on the history of philosophy? What was it like to work with Taylor Swift and Lorde producer Jack Antonoff? Which cover of a Coldplay song makes Tom geek out? What does Tom think about "truth in art" and "shitty male vibes"? Why does Tom think his music a polarizing among a "certain subset of heterosexual males"? What kind of old man does Tom aspire to be? You'll have to listen to find out. This interview is a fun one.
