One third of Toronto darkwave trio Austra (whose debut Feel it Break was one of the more solid debuts to come out last year), Maya Postepski is back with another equally impressive debut, this time as half of Trust, another similarly gloomy, Toronto-based synth-pop outfit. Joined on vocals and co-production duties by Robert Alfons, the pair earned a couple of large-scale opening gigs with DFA1979 and Crystal Castles, months before TRST even had a release date, based mostly on the strength of their raucous live performances. While Trust’s music bears a strong resemblance to Postepski’s downcast dance groove for Austra, Alfons’ pallid vocal bleats and the frigid synth lines that mark TRST make for considerably colder, more consistently engaging fare.
