Equus Asinus

It’s a vibrant moment for indie music aficionados as Men I Trust, the Canadian band known for its dreamy synth- pop sound, has just released their latest album Equus Asinus.

The 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 albums, 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.

With the new release, fans are not only treated to fresh music but also a wealth of live performances to anticipate this summer, including a highlight appearance at the BRIC Celebrate Brooklyn! Festival. As they prepare to hit the road, Men I Trust continues to generate conversation within the music community about the evolving nature of their artistic expression.
