Men I Trust: “Tree Among Shrubs”

Tracks
Written By Michael Gutierrez

High-grade lounge at the Ramada Inn sensations. Montreal’s Men I Trust will keep you hanging around the hotel bar for that second Cosmo while your partner does that thing he needs to do across town. Keep it under your hat. A little rock, a little dream pop, a little 70s. Off the full-length Untourable Album, which comes in three colors (blue, gray, red) and is, I suspect, highly tourable.

Stream, share, buy to your heart’s content.
