Indie Pop / Shoegaze

Men I Trust is an indie pop band from Quebec City, Canada. The founding members, Jessy and Dragos, met in high school and decided to collaborate on a French-Touch/Italo-Disco track. Their collaboration was so successful that they expanded it into a full project with multiple singers involved.

Between 2012 and 2016, Jessy and Dragos released music as part of their studies at Laval University's audio postproduction program. They aimed to develop a unique sound by mixing and mastering simultaneously, resulting in loud, large, and high-quality tracks.

In 2013, Odile joined the band after impressing Jessy and Dragos with her powerful classical singing voice. Her contribution to their first baroque essay became one of Men I Trust's highlights. Later on, Emma joined the band after catching their attention with her mysterious twist on vocals during a casual campfire performance.

The release of their first album "Men I Trust" in 2014 brought local success in Quebec and gained recognition on various charts. With the addition of Emma as a permanent member, the band achieved even greater success with their second album "Headroom" in 2015. They received widespread acclaim outside of Quebec through appearances on platforms like Hype Machine, Spotify playlists, and SoundCloud.

In 2016, Men I Trust performed at several notable events including Canadian Music Week (Toronto), Festival International

Led by Emma Proulx's enchanting vocals and guitar, joined by Jessy Caron on bass and guitar, and enhanced by Dragos Chiriac's keyboard and production skills, crafting dreamy indie-electronic melodies that resonate with tranquil and evocative soundscapes

Unencumbered by considerations of live performance, Untourable Album’s title reveals the intent behind its inception. Composed and recorded during a global lull in touring, accompanying videos for the songs 'Tree Amongst Shrubs', 'Serenade of Water', and 'Sugar' compile footage from the aptly-titled Untourable Tour as the album ended up being tourable after all. The album cover features a photograph by celebrated American photographer Lynn Goldsmith, showcased originally in a 1984 collection titled A Day in the Life of Canada.
