Recorded in Los Angeles, the songs seethe with dread, lust, reckoning, and abandon, backlit by the light pollution of a thousand dead end city streets. Alfons co-produced the collection with versatile composer and producer Nightfeelings, achieving a thick, smoky balance of eerie synths, fog machine low end, and bruised, crooning voice. The title alludes to a friend’s offhand remark about Alfons’ intrinsically performative nature. The opener, “Soon,” swells to life with hymnal electronics before kicking through the dance floor with a huge new wave hook, spiked with caustic kiss-off lyrics (“Asleep I still say it aloud / Scared stiff it’s all around / We never did call it off, now our organs dried / Scared stiff to stone, you liar”). The music moves between beauty and bitterness, anthem and anguish, the sound of melancholia gone massive. On track after track, Alfons wields pop dynamics and brooding production wizardry like a weapon, spiraling through a roll call of singles – “All At Once,” “The Shore,” “Dark Day,” “Boys of LA.” Throughout, there’s a sense of emotional turmoil elevated to strange heights, stained by guilt and ghosts and the memory of those wronged and those still unforgiven. As a world unto itself, Performance is persuasive, immersive, and intoxicating, at the threshold of stirring and disturbing. Alfons’ voice is the anchor in the storm, singing a collage of impressions and confessions with a smeared, stream of consciousness logic. He’s both observer and instigator, performer and playwright, liberated by the stage and the night: “Now we see the rotten mind / It’s eye to eye and mysteries/ Sail your boat for shore / I sit by the window waiting for it.” Artist TR/ST Genre Electronica Label Dais Buying Options 1LP , 1LP Coloured Vinyl Format 1LP , Coloured Vinyl Condition New Country UK Track Listings Soon Regret All at Once The Shore Boys of LA Clowned Dark Day Performance Warp Share this On Facebook On Twitter Via Email More from Electronica View Product Quick View Parris Soaked In Indigo Moonlight Electronica | Can You Feel The Sun | 1LP Released 19th November 2021 £16.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Parris Soaked In Indigo Moonlight £16.00 Genre: Electronica Label: Can You Feel The Sun SKU: FEELYRHEART Formats: 1LP Released Date: 19th November 2021 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Whitehouse Dedicated To Peter Kurten, Sadist And Mass Slayer – Black Vinyl Electronica | Dirter Promotions | 180g, 1LP Released 16th June 2017 £22.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Whitehouse Dedicated To Peter Kurten, Sadist And Mass Slayer – Black Vinyl £22.00 Genre: Electronica Label: Dirter Promotions SKU: DPROMLP121 Formats: 180g, 1LP Released Date: 16th June 2017 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Drexciya Neptune’s Lair Electronica | Tresor | 180g, 2LP, Coloured Vinyl Released 2nd September 2022 £25.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Drexciya Neptune’s Lair £25.00 Genre: Electronica Label: Tresor SKU: TRESOR129LPX Formats: 180g, 2LP, Coloured Vinyl Released Date: 2nd September 2022 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Late Night Alumni Echos Electronica | Alumni Records | 1LP Released 6th October 2023 £32.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Late Night Alumni Echos £32.00 Genre: Electronica Label: Alumni Records SKU: LNA0323 Formats: 1LP Released Date: 6th October 2023 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Nearly New View Product Quick View Burial Claustro / State Forest Electronica | Hyperdub | 12", Single Released 1st June 2023 £15.00 Add to basket Reserve View Reservations Burial Claustro / State Forest £15.00 Genre: Electronica Label: Hyperdub SKU: nn264817 Formats: 12", Single Released Date: 1st June 2023 Reserve View Reservations Read More Add to basket View Product Quick View Malcolm Mclaren Duck Rock Electronica | The State51 Conspiracy | 2LP Released 27th May 2023 £34.00 Add to basket Reserve View Reservations Malcolm Mclaren Duck Rock £34.00 Genre: Electronica Label: The State51 Conspiracy SKU: MMDR01 Formats: 2LP Released Date: 27th May 2023 Reserve View Reservations Read More Add to basket View Product Quick View Poté A Tenuous Tale Of Her Electronica | Outlier | 1LP Released 4th June 2021 £18.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Poté A Tenuous Tale Of Her £18.00 Genre: Electronica Label: Outlier SKU: OTLR003 Formats: 1LP Released Date: 4th June 2021 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Beautify Junkyards Nova Electronica | Ghost Box | 1LP Released 20th September 2024 £21.00 Add to basket Reserve View Reservations Beautify Junkyards Nova £21.00 Genre: Electronica Label: Ghost Box SKU: GBX046LP Formats: 1LP Released Date: 20th September 2024 Reserve View Reservations Read More Add to basket Nearly New View Product Quick View Hive Mind Elemental Disgrace Electronica | Spectrum Spools | 1LP, Coloured Vinyl Released 6th July 2021 £16.00 Add to basket Reserve View Reservations Hive Mind Elemental Disgrace £16.00 Genre: Electronica Label: Spectrum Spools SKU: nn226293 Formats: 1LP, Coloured Vinyl Released Date: 6th July 2021 Reserve View Reservations Read More Add to basket Graham's picks View Product Quick View Squarepusher Lamental EP Electronica | Warp | 12", EP/Mini Album, Includes Download Code Released 10th April 2020 £13.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Squarepusher Lamental EP £13.00 Genre: Electronica Label: Warp SKU: WAP440 Formats: 12", EP/Mini Album, Includes Download Code Released Date: 10th April 2020 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders See more in Electronica Start again
