PopGun Presents: Friday the 13th

A US debut performance from the buzzed-about king of below-fi R&B, and brooding electronic jams from The Golden Filter:

Tom Krell leads a double life. During the day, he's a research fellow currently translating a book of "post-Kantian philosophy" in Cologne, Germany. But after work he's making narcotized, below-fi R&B as How to Dress Well. In October of last year, Krell started posting batches of his clouded tunes to his blog. They're marked by his piercing voice, which bears a resemblance to Bon Iver's Justin Vernon, or even Justin Timberlake at his most fragile and falsetto-y.
