Title: Elvis Costello And The Attractions - Trust Year/Genre/Sub-Genre/City: 1981, Rock, New Wave Pub Rock, London, England 7/26 Matrix #: PC 37051 Condition: VG (LM) | Members: Elvis C (54' - Alive), Steve N (58' - Alive), Bruce T (48' - Alive), Pete T (54' - Alive) Cultural Facts:
Studio Lore: Trust is one of Costello’s twistier records, jumping between sharp new wave, soul touches, country flavor, and nervous piano-driven pop.
Band Drama: The Attractions were famously intense players, and their tight chemistry helped turn Costello’s dense songs into quick, biting full-band performances.
Media Narrative: The album caught Costello in a restless early-80s stretch, still angry and clever, but starting to stretch beyond the pure punk-adjacent bite of his first records.
