Post Description

World, folk, singer-songwriter, Sheffield.

In 2018, the British songwriter Ellis Ford ended his project Trust Fund — which, now that I think about it, is an outrageous thing to call your band. It turned out, however, that the Trust Fund was not quite dry. Ford revived Trust Fund in 2022, and he’s cranked out a steady stream of one-off singles since then. The most recent of those was “Has It Been A While,” which came out last month. Apparently, that’s the title track of the first new Trust Fund album since 2018’s Bringing The Backline.

Today, Trust Fund announced that the new LP Has It Been A While? will arrive this fall. (To answer the titular question: It hasn’t really been that long.) Ellis Ford describes it like this:

I think it’s an ambitious record, but it’s quietly ambitious. I wanted to make something that explored a specific aesthetic, but that might still be diverse and engaging across 35 minutes. Creating the string arrangements took me totally out of my comfort zone — I don’t read music — and I’m very proud that I’ve produced something that was more or less what I had in mind. I have a lot more time for good musicianship, when it’s applied well, and the idea of self-improvement.

Staat er compleet op, 10% pars mee gepost. Met zeer veel dank aan de originele poster. Laat af en toe eens weten wat je van het album vindt. Altijd leuk, de mening van anderen. Oh ja, MP3 doe ik niet aan.
