UK based Indie band The Trusted have released their new single ‘Eli’. The track was recorded and produced by Rees Broomfield, SS2 Studios and mixed by Grammy-nominated Andy Bradfield (Elbow, David Gray, Rufus Wainwright). The Trusted are Southend-on-Sea natives Dave Batchelor, Dale Holt-Mead, Fin Cunningham and Tom Cunningham. The band have received support from major radio players including Jake Peach BBC Introducing Essex, Tom Robinson BBC 6 Music, Gary Crowley BBC Radio London and Charlie Ashcroft Amazing Radio and many international radio stations.

‘Eli’ is an ethereal slice of indie rock that boasts the mature and compelling sound of The Trusted. The band weave aerial guitars through a tight groove-infused drum and bass foundation to create a contrasting push and pull effect while soaring synths flood the track in breezy cool tones. Filled with lush crooning vocals and cinematic builds ‘Eli’ is an utterly gripping tune that marks The Trusted a band to keep an eye on.

A song about revelations and guilt, ‘Eli’ suggests that we are all victims of our own flawed mind. “The song’s protagonist turns to a fictionalised Jesus/God type character (Eli) thinking they will be able to save them. The protagonist comes to the realisation that the only way they can save their mind from self-destruction, is to do it themselves.” explains The Trusted.
