Trust Fund Releases Video for Single, “Has It Been A While?”

Critically regarded UK band Trust Fund has a new video out for their newest single, “Has It Been A While?” The latest signing to Tapete Records, the musical project is that of singer-songwriter Ellis Jones. The song is a beautifully constructed and arranged tune about losing touch with people you have loved.

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.

On the video, Director and Producer James Hankins had this to say:

“Me, Ellis, and Celia drove around all day to make this video, visiting thirteen gardens across Bristol. When Ellis shared the song I imagined a video that would be uneventful. Gardens are often a place where time seems to stand still. I liked the idea of Ellis doing the same mundane activity in each garden, and settled on the idea of drinking orange squash. Ellis drank about fifteen pints of squash that day.

“This is the fourth video we’ve made together. The three we made before felt like a kind of trilogy – so this feels more like the start of something new.”
