Although the band admitted that "big, thunderous rap bass is key to [their] music", the songs I heard on their very brief set list (set was no more than 25 minutes) sounded more video gamey (especially with the CG sexy girl dancing over a big fireball projected onto the band).
When How To Dress Well came on stage, 7th Street Entry was packed! If it didn't sell out, it sure felt like it last night. Audience was mostly young women in front.
I am actually not a fan of falsetto, which Tom Krell uses on all his songs. The arrangement seems pretty minimalistic, with his band playing background music to embellish Krell's lyrics (sometime he would just sing a cappella) and images projected onto the band. From his performance, the songs are deeply emotional to Krell.
Near the end of his set, he launched into his danciest song, "& It Was U", which got the audience to groove. He ended his set with "Set It Right", from his new album Total Loss.
How to Dress Well ends his tour in Chicago today at CoProsperity Sphere.
