Seems Unfair
Seems Unfair comes just months after their acclaimed debut No One’s Coming For Us, which was released in February of this year. Despite the short time between records, Seems Unfair is a marked progression in terms of song-writing and production, this time recorded by Hookworms’ MJ in Suburban Home studios, Leeds. Seems Unfair retains the vital excitement that made the debut release such a delight, whilst refining the pop sensibilities and never shying from the self-reflection and attention to detail that has already singled out Ellis Jones as a lyrical talent.
‘Dreams’, Seems Unfair’s first single is playful and reflective and quickly became a favourite on BBC Radio 6Music, as well as winning praise from NME, Noisey, DIY and Stereogum. Follow-up single ‘Football’ is a triumphant shrug toward ennui and self-doubt, hitting melodic heights previously unheard by Trust Fund.
A more ambitious record than their debut, Seems Unfair sees Trust Fund truly hone and sharpen their musical craft, as demonstrated in the unashamedly rocky ‘4th August’ and the slow-burning and climatic title track. As lyrically heartfelt as it is, Seems Unfair consistently pushes Trust Fund’s sound, with no detriment to the excitement and euphoria of the record.
