The New Trust

In its original incarnation, Santa Rosa, CA’s the brand new Trust was something of the post-hardcore supergroup gathering Josh Staples from the Velvet Teen on bass and vocals and Michael Richardson of Benton Falls on lead guitar. The initial lineup was finished by guitarist Sara Sanger — Staples’ wife, who by her personal admission barely understood how exactly to play acoustic guitar when the music group was produced — and drummer Julia Lancer. Putting your signature on towards the Slowdance label, the brand new Trust debuted with 2004’s We Are Fast-Moving Motherfuckers. We Are People of Actions. (All of those other album’s entrance cover, in probably unaware imitation of XTC’s sleeve for Move 2, includes a extended and generally unreadable music group manifesto.) An interval of music group instability followed the discharge of their debut record, poetically described in the name of its 2007 follow-up; although Richardson will show up on Dark May be the Route Which Lays Before Us, it’s in a far more limited function than before, and his departure in the music group was announced concurrent using the album’s discharge. Richardson was changed by brand-new guitarist Michael Izen, who also maintains a continuing function in another music group, the Polar Bears.
