Summary
Men I Trust is a Montréal trio associated with dream pop. Soft vocals and a strong bass groove connect its guitar-centered songs with an earlier interest in electronic production.[1]
Contemporary and trending
The band released Equus Asinus and Equus Caballus in 2025. The paired records provide a later point of comparison with earlier singles and the group's established dream-pop sound.[2]
History
Founded in 2014, the project initially involved Jessy Caron and Dragos Chiriac working with different singers. Emma Proulx's guest contributions developed into a permanent role. In their 2018 interview, the musicians described an independent working method and an audience extending well beyond Montréal.[1][2]
Music and repertoire
Chiriac identifies Daft Punk and early-2000s French house, particularly the Ed Banger circle, as early influences. The group's later move toward guitars retained an emphasis on groove. That history connects its unhurried dream-pop presentation with dance-oriented production, without making every song a house recording. The musicians' own description emphasizes smoothness, groove and a visual dimension to the songs.[1]
Selected recordings in MuGlobe:
