The demon lovechild of an indie pop group and a goth rock band worthy of 80s stardom, Trust<\/a> is no longer exclusively something to be broken by cheating on your significant other. An electronic duo from Toronto, Trust has been on the iTunes of music dorks for years. Their EP, Candywalls, received its fair share of internet fanfare, but for the most part Trust has been patiently hovering a shade below the radar. At long last, the group is poised to enter the mainstream since their latest single, Sulk, dropped on Arts & Crafts<\/a> records last month. Although Maya Postepski (of famed indie group Austra) may be the better known of the duo, it is the low, penetrating vocals of Robert Alfons that make Trust a standout. At first meeting, it seems borderline impossible that such a sound could be emitted from this delicate, charming creature. I sat down with Robert to discuss Trust\u2019s slow rise to fame, his hometown of Toronto and Joy Division.<\/p>\n
