Performance is the 4th full - length studio album by Robert Alfons, known as TR/ST. Over a decade of evolution, TR/ST has mastered the art of nasty synth - pop psychodrama, and this album takes it even further. Recorded in Los Angeles, the songs are filled with dread, lust, and reckoning, set against the backdrop of city light pollution. Alfons co - produced with Nightfeelings, creating a rich sound of eerie synths, deep bass, and his bruised, crooning voice. The album title comes from a friend's comment on Alfons' performative nature. The opener, 'Soon,' starts with hymnal electronics and then hits the dance floor with a big new wave hook and caustic lyrics. The music moves between beauty and bitterness, anthemic and anguished moments. Alfons uses pop dynamics and production skills like a weapon in singles such as 'All At Once,' 'The Shore,' 'Dark Day,' and 'Boys of LA.' There's a sense of emotional turmoil, stained by guilt and past wrongs. Performance is a world of its own, persuasive, immersive, and intoxicating. Alfons' voice anchors the storm, singing a stream of confessions. Tracklist: A1. Soon, A2. Regret, A3. All at Once, A4. The Shore, A5. Boys of LA; B1. Clowned, B2. Dark Day, B3. Performance, B4. Warp.
