Earlier this year, Montreal indie favorites and DIY magicians Men I Trust — made up of Emmanuelle Proulx, Dragos Chiriac, and Jessy Caron — thrilled fans with the unexpected promise of not one, but two new albums set for release in 2025. “Early in the writing and recording process, we realized we had a collection of songs with distinct energies, yet equally meaningful to us,” the band shared on social media. “It became clear that we wanted to release them as two separate entities, both from the same genus: Equus Asinus and Equus Caballus.”
Now, just under two months after Equus Asinus, the band has delivered its companion album, Equus Caballus. While the first release leaned into a more laidback, mellow vibe, Equus Caballus brings a touch more tempo, without straying from the band’s signature dreamy soundscapes. The 13-track album includes reimagined or previously released singles like “Ring Of Past (2025),” “Billie Toppy (2025),” and “Husk (2025).”
