It’s a vibrant moment for indie music aficionados as Men I Trust, the Canadian band known for its dreamy synth-pop sound, release Equus Asinus. This album serves as the first of two interconnected studio releases anticipated throughout the year.
The band’s choice of unique album titles—drawing on equine nomenclature—reflects a larger artistic concept. Both “Equus Asinus” (meaning “donkey” in Latin) and the upcoming “Equus Caballus” (meaning “horse”), explore distinct emotional landscapes while showcasing their signature light, jazzy pop sound characterized by baroque touches.
