Tom Krell has announced his fifth How to Dress Well album: The Anteroom is due October 19 via Domino. Krell has also shared the visual for a new track called “Nonkilling 6 | Hunger.” The video is a collaboration between Krell and visual artist Justin Daashuur Hopkins, with help from Hopkins’ NOH/WAVE collective. Watch it below; scroll down for The Anteroom’s tracklist.

The Anteroom follows 2016’s Care. It was co-produced by Joel Ford and features poet Ocean Vuong on the track “Brutal.” Krell describes an anteroom as “a passage into a void of pain in which no human scream can be heard, that will decompose your body in an instant.” He adds in a statement, “It can be a great place that allows us to connect to the unknown safely. Or it can be the actual worst.”
