Trust - Bitter Ruin Single Review

Bitter Ruin

Single Review

Rugged alt.country, noir and acoustic guitar driven pop merging, forage into the dynamics of a topsy-turvy relationship, 'Trust'. Sees the Brighton formed pairing of Ben Richards and Georgia Train, start off from a rugged, low-key acoustic intro'. Train's achingly expressively vocal drama paves the way for the song to take on a frantic male/femme back and forth. This represents music's equivalent of a lovers' tiff.

For all of the soap opera vocals and a Latino lag to the acoustic searching the song doesn't entirely captivate. It does still show a little more than a smudge of potential in the adventurousness of the approach and the heart that's on display.
