He began releasing music independently through his own blog around 2009 and via labels like Tri Angle, Lefse Records, Weird World, and eventually Domino later on in his career.

[4] How to Dress Well's debut album, Love Remains, was released in 2010 on Lefse in the United States and on Tri Angle in Europe and Asia.

The EP collects two previously released tracks bearing the name "Suicide Dream", adds a third with that title, and throws in a new version of "Decisions".

[9] Limited to 1,000 copies, the 10" vinyl release donated $1 of every record sold to a nonprofit working to raise awareness about mental illness.

The album received a "Best New Music" nod from Pitchfork Media, where Ian Cohen wrote that it is "a work of poignant and devastating art".

[16] Paste Magazine noted that "Krell has managed to indulge his experimental tendencies while at the same time achieve his most accessible sound to date".

"[21] The Line of Best Fit wrote "Care is as close to a perfect example of modern music as you're likely to find—it's self-reliant, self-assured and packed with more hooks than a cloakroom".

During the summer of 2018, the Getty Center Tram in Los Angeles featured site-specific original musical and sound composition from Krell.
