Montreal’s Men I Trust have followed up on last year’s Untourable Album with their first new track of 2022. Maybe a little late, considering how prolific the trio typically are, but they’ve been kind of busy soaking in the irony of taking Untourable Album on the road for much of this year; they’ve just set out on another North American leg, this time in support of Khruangbin.

“Hard To Let Go” is a characteristically slow-burning jazzy affair, maybe a little compositionally straighter than the more experimental material on Untourable, but still affirms yet again that this band is one of Canada’s very best, regardless of genre.
