Taraka explains that "trust" and "now" have been important "power words" throughout the last year. It's evident in her "Now Age" manifesto that accompanies the album: an eight-chapter reflection on the concert and the vinyl record as utopic paradigms, "hyparctic songs," connecting to "the ecstasy of the present," and even her bedazzled dresses (which "catch light . . . creating a feedback loop and energetic exchange between material and space as well as a portal between the mundane and the luminous").
Despite the surface eccentricity, Prince Rama captivate both with their ingenuousness and their comprehensive sense of craft. And in a contemporary music culture insistently looking back in time for reference points (Prince Rama describe it as "ghost-modern"), Trust Now uplifts with its focus on immersive experiences and embracing "the now." Prince Rama want you to zone in, lose yourself, and "realize the real."
