how to dress well: love remains

Weird—I could have sworn that I posted about Love Remains by How To Dress Well. It came out last September but I did't start obsessively listening to it till early this year. For me, Love Remains is an escape record. The lo-fi ambient sound/noise and sometimes pop/R&B-like tender vocal produce a beautifully lethargic and airy atmosphere. I absolutely love listening to it through my big headphones and feeling lost in the congested city streets. Love Remains is an unique music experience and it is really a gorgeous sounding record!
