“Joyland:” Trust
“Joyland” is the ironically–named second LP from gothic–synth artist Trust, and it sounds just like what you would expect gothic–synth to sound like: Crystal Castles, except less catchy.
Once you get past the inexplicable “V” in “CHVRCHES” and the ensuring pronunciation issues (it’s definitely “churches” if you were wondering), you can’t get past the band’s infectious, synthy sound.
There are pretty much two reactions when someone mentions Danny Brown: “Who?” and “Is he that rapper with the weird haircut who got a blowjob onstage?” Yes, yes he is.
