Review
"Untourable Album" whispered sweet nothings in my ear, drawing me into a world of hazy beats and soft, dreamy instrumentals. It's like stepping into a foggy morning, where the edges are soft and the air is thick with possibility. Men I Trust's latest creation is a departure from their typical upbeat vibe, embracing a lo-fi and synth-heavy approach that's both captivating and experimental.
I love how the album's title tells a story - "Untourable Album" was born during a time when touring was impossible, and you can feel the quiet, personal energy emanating from each track. It's like they're sharing a secret, and we're eavesdropping on a conversation meant just for us. The lack of music videos only adds to this intimate atmosphere, keeping our focus on the music itself.
Tracks like "5AM Waltz" and "Sugar" give us glimpses of the band's signature style, but they're woven into a tapestry that's more subdued, more experimental. The lyrics blend into the instrumentals, creating this dreamy quality that's hard to shake. "Untourable Album" might not be as accessible as some of Men I Trust's previous works, but it's a fascinating exploration of new sounds and textures that's sure to reward close listening. - Lexi
