Slow, groovy, and psychedelic. Like if bedroom pop met the soundtrack of a 2010-era high school movie.
Formed in 2014 with just three members, Men I Trustâs music felt special right off the bat, releasing songs with irresistible, funky basslines, electronic synths, and hazy, subdued vocals. The bandâs first album Headroom laid the foundations for the recognizable sound theyâre known for today. (Yes, even the operatic song âIntroit.â)
In 2018, they debuted their most famous song, âShow Me How.â Catchy and dreamy with just the right amount of grooviness, itâs the kind of song you play in your head when imagining finally kissing your crush. Rapper Joey Bada$$ sampled it in his album 2000, helping to launch Men I Trust into the mainstream. The band later played massive festivals, including Coachella and Lollapalooza.
More than just another bedroom pop band, Men I Trust has a hint of absurdity and humor. (They made a thirty-six-minute album masterpiece and called it Untourable Album.) Itâs a band you have to experience live.
