Trust Fund - Bringing the Backline album flac

Shortly after Bringing the Backline’s release, Jones announced that for various non-dramatic reasons it would be Trust Fund’s final record. For anyone who’d listened to the album, the news would hardly be surprising. If these songs have an overarching theme, it’s how deeply disenchanted Jones feels with making music. Sometimes this sentiment has the wistful quality of reminiscence. Other times, he sounds as if he’s accepting defeat. Occasionally his lyrics convey nothing short of despair

Bringing The Backline is an album about making music and having feelings and struggling with both. Sonically speaking, you could throw references like Belle and Sebastian, Fevers and Mirrors-era Bright Eyes, Nick Drake, Weezer and Big Star into the mix and they would all have a lifespan of a few seconds before falling short. Bringing The Backline is self-referential but the humour is often a veil for sincerity, not the absence of it.

Bringing The Backline’ is the final Trust Fund album. Since 2013’s ‘Don’t Let Them Begin’, Jones has released four flawless albums, but he’s decided to end the project. This is an even more bitter pill to swallow given how strong and enjoyable ‘Bringing The Backline’ is. The only silver lining is we probably won’t have to wait long to hear Jones’ next project.

Trust Fund was a musical project founded and led by Ellis Jones whilst living in Bristol in the South West of England. Both on recordings and live the band also featured a rotating lineup of musicians to fill out the sound. They released four full-length albums between 2015 and 2018, the final of which roughly coincided with the decision to disband.

On ‘Bringing The Backline’, the new Trust Fund record, Ellis Jones writes about writing. His music has always had a self-reflexive edge, but rarely has craft been such a preoccupation. When compared to ‘Seems Unfair’, which was recorded with MJ of Hookworms at Suburban Home in Leeds, it makes that album look staunchly indie-rock by comparison. Its full band feel, though, is slightly deceptive. Patrick has a tendency towards maximalism and layering, which I think he’s really skilled at, Jones says.
