Men I Trust Equus Caballus vinyl is the kind of release that rewards the collector who pays attention: a self-released LP from the Montreal trio that arrives as their third record of 2025, pressed on their own MEN I TRUST imprint under catalog number MIT 2406044.
Men I Trust and the Equus Releases
Men I Trust, the Montreal-based group built around the core of Emmanuelle Proulx, Jessy Caron, and Dragos Chiriac, has spent years developing a devoted following through self-managed releases and a meticulous approach to their own output. Rather than working through a conventional label structure, they retain full control over how their music reaches listeners, which means every pressing decision is a deliberate one. Equus Caballus is released alongside its companion record Equus Asinus, both available here at B Side Vinyl. The two records are clearly conceived as a pair, and collectors serious about this band will want both.
What Equus Caballus Contains
The album includes alternate versions of two previously released singles: “Husk” and “Billy Toppy.” This is not a straightforward reissue or a singles compilation. The alternate versions distinguish this record from what fans may already know, giving the material a different context and making it genuinely worth hearing on its own terms. For followers of the band who have been with these songs since their single releases, the versions here offer something new to sit with. For newer listeners, this is a strong entry point into what the band has been building through 2025.
The Pressing and Why It Belongs in Your Collection
As a self-released LP on the band’s own imprint, this record exists outside the standard distribution pipeline. Men I Trust controls the run, the format, and the availability, which has historically meant their physical releases move quickly and do not see represses the way major label titles do. Catalog number MIT 2406044 places this cleanly within their documented release chronology. If you have been following the Equus project from the start, this LP completes one half of the pair. If you are building a Men I Trust collection focused on physical media, a self-pressed LP from their most active release period is exactly the kind of item that becomes difficult to locate later. The companion Equus Asinus is listed separately and both are worth adding together.
