Evenifudontbelieve [2] (stylised as EVENIFUDONTBELIEVE) is the third album by Russel Whyte under his alias of Rustie. It was released on 5 November 2015 by Warp.
Tracks on Evenifudontbelieve were initially planned for an EP release, but Whyte felt that "there was so much with a similar vibe that it turned into an album pretty naturally." [3] Whyte found that some of these tracks were getting good reactions in live settings and decided to skip an EP and organise the music into album length. [3]
Fact described the album as containing "squealing prog guitar over huge rising synths, turbo trance riffs over even quicker trap drums" as well as happy hardcore. [3]
Evenifudontbelieve was released on 5 November 2015 by the label Warp. [3] A video for "First Mythz" premièred during Whyte's Reddit Ask Me Anything thread on 24 November 2015. [4] The vinyl issue of the album was made available on March 18. [4]

[1]
Fact placed the album at 11th place on their list of top albums of 2015, stating that Whyte "drills his agenda down to the things that make him tick: happy hardcore and trance, dolphins and pills, Coral Castlez and Big Catzz. It's so much fucking fun." [11]
