Released in January 1981, Trust arrived at a point where Elvis Costello and the Attractions were already on a ferocious run, yet it feels less like a victory lap than a deliberate broadening of the palette. The album moves easily through nervy pop, rockabilly, piano balladry, soul-inflected tension and nightclub noir, with Clubland, Watch Your Step, New Lace Sleeves and From a Whisper to a Scream showing how much more spacious and subtle the band had become. It still has the bite of the early records, but there is more atmosphere here, more ambiguity, and more room for Steve Nieves piano and the bands arrangement ideas to do real dramatic work.
What makes Trust so rewarding is that it does not chase the instant impact of This Years Model or the manic density of Get Happy!! Instead, it lets Costellos writing turn darker, sadd
