Trust Fall’s debut LP Secret Keeper opens up with a sound that is doomier than any of their other works. The album leans more towards the style of their split with Thanks than their two-song release (3 digital),work hard, play weird, stay kvlt. Secret Keeper steers clear of the more friendly and upbeat math-style. The album is varied, including instrumental tracks, music that sounds close to black metal, and the piano track “Is it True That When You Close Your Eyes There are Always Scorpions that sounds like it could be on the soundtrack for The X-Files. “Secret Keeper” is a major step forward in terms of style development for the band, it opens up a new level of anticipation for future works.

The album displays many elements of hardcore. The vocals in "F.I.T.P." are reminiscent of the vocal styles of bands like Caust. The music on the album could also be likened to bands like Circle Takes the Square or Refused. A lot of songs on the album begin with instrumental intros, building up in intensity mid-way through the song. Many modern bands have chosen to use this tactic. Often at live shows while this occurs, at the point of build-up, audience members rush up to the front of the floor, and “sometimes their arms bend back.” It is easy to visualize a large amount of flailing happening during this song. “Dampe Mimicry” is where the self-proclaimed titles (via the Trust Fall Bandcamp) post-hardcore and “snake jazz” come in. The vocals sound at times like the vox of Cedric Bixler-Zavala.

“Wormholes 2: Rise of the Street Worms” is titled as the continuation from earlier song, “Wormholes and Semantics”, but stylistically the two are quite different. The new track displays screamo qualities: emotional vocals, breakdowns, and heavy bass, whereas the initial “Wormholes” song has a style more like modern day emo. The sound of this album is definitely not clean enough to be anywhere near the modern day emo realm. The guitar on “Sometimes My Arms Bend Back” sounds like metal. On a few of the tracks, piano is also greatly involved, widening the band’s musical virtuosity.

The album’s dark music and moody lyrics speak volumes in terms of lyrical opinion of the self. The emotion of the vocals conveys problematic personal times, and the lyrics speak of “not having hope.” The screaming on the tracks conveys loss, isolation, and an unclear, pessimistic view of the future. The length of the songs jump between less than two mintues, to the last song- which is the longest track on the album, at almost nine mintues. Lyrics on the last track speak of going “through storms” and “finding answers.” Clearly this album deals with confusing, difficult times, and the period of adjustment, which is difficult and seemingly hopeless. The album leaves off with thought-provoking, personal, etheral guitar, denoting an underlying innocence or hope, despite the breadth of the content of the album.
