Catch Me

Myself, and probably thousands of fans around the world, enjoy the smooth sound and lo-fi aesthetic of Montréal band Men I Trust. This trio has millions of views and streams yet is completely under-the-radar and doesn't tour. There are videos of lead singer Emma tearing up when, at a first-time show at some remote club, the audience sings along with her. So I was excited to finally hear them live at The Horseshoe on Friday.

Montréal compatriot Anemone was the perfect opener. They had similar funky bass lines and singer Chloé Soldevilla also projected a similar 60s baby-doll vibe (see Bout de Toi). This Charlotte Gainsbourg meets electro-dance provided an up-tempo start to the evening.

The packed crowd loved Men I Trust's headliner set with cries of "I love you Emma" throughout the evening. What was more amazing than people knowing the lyrics was that many recognized the songs after only a few notes of shimmering guitar/synth chords and chill bass line had started. Numbers like Tailwhip and Lauren kept the fans happy throughout the evening.
