Men I Trust

Well, I haven't heard that.

I like, like, more Tame Impala, more Men I Trust.

Do

you like Jennie? She does this big, big Tame Impala song right now that's like, shut up, Jennie, just get in the car.

And I was like, yeah, it does.

So this song to me sounds like a band called Men I Trust.

I feel like they're from Montreal, but they have this front woman, Emma.

I don't know her last name, but she's got like this very dreamy sort of vocal, very shoegazy sort of like, I don't know if that's a reverb that's kind of on the voice here.

Yeah.

Yeah, I wasn't sure either if it was a reverb or if she had double-tracked it somehow.

Yeah, so, like, check out, like, Men I Trust, like, Tail Whip or Nom or Show Me How.

All great songs that kind of have a similar

yeah

yeah um who else let me think men i trust love a bit of them um jungle so it kind of depends on the day but it depends

on the mood depends on the mood depends on the day i love that those are some great picks and uh you're going to perform a song for us the robin again take me a little bit into this song and i i always wonder this has the meaning of the song changed over time for you

It was actually, after I wrote the song, I couldn't play it for a long time because I just burst out crying.

Um, I don't know.

It's kind of changed over the, over the, I guess, years, but recently probably like Men I Trust.

Yeah.

Men I

It changes so rapidly.

It will be someone for a while and then it will move to someone else.

But I think Men I Trust is probably someone we've always taken inspiration from.

For me,

Did you see much else at Electric Picnic on the Friday when you were, when you were there?

Yeah, I did head over to Men I Trust.

They were in the tent right next to us, and that, they're like my, my ultimates.

They're pretty big in my, in my books, and I heard like the first song, and I just started running across, and it was, it was pretty cool.

No, I'm, man, I'm into more, like, stuff that reminds me a lot of, uh, uh, uh, that's kind of reminiscent of neo-soul or, uh, I'm into, like, indie artists.

Like, you, you've heard me talk about Man I Trust, to which, you know, I have a whole station dedicated to them and a few other artists that I...

Like, that's where my new music comes from.

Hip hop, probably not as much these days, which is crazy because in the '90s and early 2000s, and of course '80s, I was crazy into hip hop.

but i feel like the more i was studying and the more i was kind of giving myself to that into that that life that I was going I was imagining I was studying psychology so I was very much imagining myself become a psychologist and do therapy with clients and the more I was kind of diving into that future life the more the creativity part and some things had to come out and that's how I started to write songs and at some point I I had a few written and I approached a friend of a friend with whom we started doing Ghostly Kisses.

So I first started to work with Dragos Chiriac, who's actually in the band Man I Trust.

I don't know if you know.

And then that's how Ghostly Kisses started.

In my situation, it came to a point where there was nothing more I could do.

And so, yeah, I chose myself and... and um but yeah it's not I don't know about other people sorry like every everyone is is different and some people might have made a different choice um and I you know I respect I respect that so it's just I'm really just speaking for my own situation or my own relationship so

yeah you know this might be a an odd question but i think about the title of your band like ghostly kisses which almost it almost resonates like a love that you and and this is not to read into it and to say this is why your band is named this it's just when i think of ghostly kisses i think of like a comfort that is elusive, but it's present, but it doesn't really have a name.

And I don't know, in my own journey, walking with difficult relationships, especially when it comes to family, there have felt like times when I have needed to learn how to comfort myself.
