Artist Spotlight: Men I Trust

Men I Trust is an indie pop band hailing from Montreal, Canada. Formed in 2014, the group initially began as a duo with Jessy Caron and Dragos Chiriac, two high school friends who bonded over their shared love of music and production. The addition of Emmanuelle “Emma” Proulx as their lead vocalist in 2015 added a new, ethereal dimension to their sound. Their music is characterized by laid-back grooves, dreamy synths, and Proulx’s soothing, almost hypnotic vocals. Men I Trust exudes a DIY ethos, maintaining control over their music production and visual aesthetics. One standout track by Men I Trust is “Show Me How.” This song perfectly captures their signature style: minimalist, yet emotionally resonant. The gentle bassline and delicate guitar riffs create a serene backdrop for Proulx’s introspective lyrics, inviting listeners into a world of tranquil introspection. From performing intimate gigs to gracing international festival stages, Men I Trust continues to garner acclaim and a devoted following. Their ability to blend dreamy soundscapes with poignant lyricism sets them apart in the crowded indie music scene. In a world where overproduction often reigns supreme, Men I Trust stands as a testament to the power of simplicity and genuine artistry. Their journey is a refreshing reminder of what can be achieved when talented individuals stay true to their creative vision.
