Toronto-based Trust has revealed that new album 'Joyland' will be released in the UK on April 7 thru Arts & Crafts.
Following lauded praise of debut work 'TRST', with its mix of malevolence and mystery, the second LP pushes the boundaries outwards and upwards. The blood red dance anthems are present and correct ('Geryon', urgent teaser track 'Rescue, Mister', 'Four Gut') but this album is also much more shaded emotively. The likes of 'Are We Arc?' and 'Capitol' reveal a beating heart pulsing beneath the beats, and elsewhere the album reveals some truly audacious pop excursions, as with Alfons’ childlike vocals on the title track, the soaring choruses of 'Peer Pressure', and on the uplifting call and response of 'Lost Souls/ Eelings'. Not for nothing does Alfons himself describe it as “an eruption of guts, eels and joy”.
Trust are touring the US in the spring, with planned UK dates in May. More details to follow shortly.
