Sad Machine presents: Trust Fund

Sad Machine presents Trust Fund at The Ivy House, in celebration of his new album ‘Has It Been A While’, released 2nd November on Tapete Records. Ellis will be joined by a string quartet for this show, which will be half seated + half standing. Support comes from H. L. Grail.

Ellis Jones has played music as Trust Fund since 2012, releasing four albums that range from lo-fi bedroom pop to full-band indie rock. His songs have been critically acclaimed by Rolling Stone, Pitchfork and The Guardian, and endorsed by Frank Ocean’s Blonded Radio. Trust Fund have played extensively in the UK and EU, including tours supporting Mitski, Frankie Cosmos and Los Campesinos! After an extended break since 2017, Trust Fund recently returned with the self-released singles ‘Capital’, ‘Late Nite Skate’, ‘Animals In War’ and ‘London’ – these quiet, introspective indie-folk songs have been playlisted by NPR, Merge, New York Times, and others.

Has It Been A While, Trust Fund’s fifth full-length record, is released 2nd November 2024 on Tapete Records.

H. L. Grail is the solo moniker of Goat Girl’s Holly Mullineaux. Sonically citing the subtle works of Tirzah, Okay Kaya, Adrienne Lenker and Slint member David Pajo’s Aerial M, her vulnerable acoustic-lead sound dips its toes into the experimental and the ethereal.

Presented by Sad Machine. No one turned away for lack of funds.
