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 Onipa We No Be Machine Electronica | Strut | 2LP Released 20th March 2020 £25.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Onipa We No Be Machine £25.00 Genre: Electronica Label: Strut SKU: STRUT217LP Formats: 2LP Released Date: 20th March 2020 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Gifted & Blessed Heard and Unheard Electronica | Stones Throw | 1LP Released 17th November 2023 £25.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Gifted & Blessed Heard and Unheard £25.00 Genre: Electronica Label: Stones Throw SKU: STH2485LP Formats: 1LP Released Date: 17th November 2023 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Weval Remember Electronica | Technicolour | 2LP, Gatefold Sleeve, Includes Download Code Released 3rd March 2023 £26.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Weval Remember £26.00 Genre: Electronica Label: Technicolour SKU: TCLR041 Formats: 2LP, Gatefold Sleeve, Includes Download Code Released Date: 3rd March 2023 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Paul's picks View Product Quick View Nicolas Jaar Space Is Only Noise (Ten Year Edition) Electronica | Circus Company | 2LP, Coloured Vinyl Released 14th May 2021 £30.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Nicolas Jaar Space Is Only Noise (Ten Year Edition) £30.00 Genre: Electronica Label: Circus Company SKU: CCS116 Formats: 2LP, Coloured Vinyl Released Date: 14th May 2021 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Teebs Anicca Electronica | Brainfeeder | 1LP, Coloured Vinyl Released 25th October 2019 £17.00 Select options Teebs Anicca £17.00 Genre: Electronica Label: Brainfeeder Formats: 1LP, Coloured Vinyl Released Date: 25th October 2019 Read More Select options View Product Quick View Autechre L-Event Electronica | Warp | 12", EP/Mini Album Released 28th October 2013 £8.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Autechre L-Event £8.00 Genre: Electronica Label: Warp SKU: WAP345 Formats: 12", EP/Mini Album Released Date: 28th October 2013 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Clark Clark Electronica | Warp | 2LP, Includes Download Code Released 3rd November 2014 £19.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Clark Clark £19.00 Genre: Electronica Label: Warp SKU: WARPLP251 Formats: 2LP, Includes Download Code Released Date: 3rd November 2014 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Royksopp Senior Electronica | Cooking Vinyl | 180g, 1LP, Coloured Vinyl Released 27th October 2023 £26.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Royksopp Senior £26.00 Genre: Electronica Label: Cooking Vinyl SKU: DOG022X Formats: 180g, 1LP, Coloured Vinyl Released Date: 27th October 2023 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Pye Corner Audio Social Dissonance Electronica | Sonic Cathedral | 1LP, Coloured Vinyl Released 15th April 2022 £20.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Pye Corner Audio Social Dissonance £20.00 Genre: Electronica Label: Sonic Cathedral SKU: SCR188LP Formats: 1LP, Coloured Vinyl Released Date: 15th April 2022 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Orbital Wonky Electronica | ACP Recordings | 2LP Released 28th March 2012 £16.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Orbital Wonky £16.00 Genre: Electronica Label: ACP Recordings SKU: ACPV1203 Formats: 2LP Released Date: 28th March 2012 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders See more in Electronica Start again
