Review
Like moonlight slipping over rolling hills at midnight, "Equus Caballus" invites listeners to wander through the delicate, ethereal realms that Men I Trust conjure so effortlessly. The album takes its name from the scientific term for a horse, hinting at a journey of both freedom and tenderness—a gallop across gentle soundscapes that shimmer with shifting, nuanced emotion. Each of the thirteen tracks is carried by their characteristically silken vocals and intricately woven electronic textures, creating an immersive world that feels both familiar and dreamily otherworldly.
Paired in spirit with their earlier release "Equus Asinus," this record isn't content to stand alone; it feels like the other half of a nightly conversation between kindred souls. With Donna Ferrato’s evocative photography gracing the cover, the album's introspective spirit shines all the brighter. Whether you experience "Equus Caballus" spinning quietly on a record player or glowing softly from a cassette, its emotional grace and rich, moody palette deepen Men I Trust’s expanding universe, offering new avenues of reverie for wandering hearts. - Luna
