Looking for the perfect playlist to listen to on a long rainy drive? Men I Trust’s new album Equus Caballus was released on May, 9th, 2025. It is the perfect mix of light jazz and bedroom pop instrumentals that create the perfect background sounds for a foggy rainy day. Excited fans welcomed the new album less than two months after the first part of the duo Equus Asinus. This new release contained 13 new tracks that played into nostalgic melodies, with tracks like “To Ease You” and “Billie Toppy”. It embraces the band’s signature hazy style, with songs like “Ring of Past” and “Husk” seamlessly fitting into the album’s sound. The lyrics explore themes of longing and reflection, with “Carried Away” offering some of the most impactful lines; “Fear shuts your every effort, clouding your better judgement”. Fans have noted that Equus Caballus feels more like the classic Men I Trust compared to Equus Asinus, which experimented with a more acoustic sound. The album’s gentle yet energetic vibe has resonated with listeners, earning it positive reviews.
