Men I Trust

An independent Canadian electronic pop group, Men I Trust brought together fellow students Jessy Caron and Dragos Chiriac in 2014, students in the music department at Laval University (Quebec). After releasing a first self-produced EP of the same name, the duo appeared at festivals the same year and worked on their debut album, Headroom (2015), before welcoming guitarist and singer Emmanuelle Proulx into the fold. The group finds a certain audience in China, where it performs and multiplies single releases and concerts for three years. No fewer than a dozen tracks are released until the September 2019 release of the album Oncle Jazz, preceded by appearances at the Coachella and Lollapalooza festivals. Consisting of twenty-four tracks, Oncle Jazz attracts the attention of the Polaris Music Prize jury, which includes it in its selection of forty albums of the year. The tour that followed gave rise to the live album Forever Live Sessions (2020), before a return to the studio to work on Untourable Album (2021), previewed in a mini-concert for radio station NPR's acclaimed Tiny Desk series. In 2023 followed a collaboration with instrumental group Khruangbin on Live at RBC Echo Beach, before further studio sessions that resulted in two albums released in 2025, Equus Asinus in March and Equus Caballus in May.
