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 Klaus Schulze and Pete Namlook The Dark Side of the Moog Vol. 1 (Wish You Were There) Electronica | Music On Vinyl | 180g, 2LP Released 8th June 2018 £29.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Klaus Schulze and Pete Namlook The Dark Side of the Moog Vol. 1 (Wish You Were There) £29.00 Genre: Electronica Label: Music On Vinyl SKU: MOVLP2101 Formats: 180g, 2LP Released Date: 8th June 2018 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View VTSS Projections Electronica | Technicolour | 12", EP/Mini Album Released 22nd April 2022 £11.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders VTSS Projections £11.00 Genre: Electronica Label: Technicolour SKU: TCLR044 Formats: 12", EP/Mini Album Released Date: 22nd April 2022 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Congo Natty Ancestorz (Rootz Of Jungle) Electronica | New State | 2LP Released 5th May 2023 £23.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Congo Natty Ancestorz (Rootz Of Jungle) £23.00 Genre: Electronica Label: New State SKU: NEW9384LP Formats: 2LP Released Date: 5th May 2023 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Aphex Twin Collapse Electronica | Warp | 12", EP/Mini Album, Includes Download Code Released 11th September 2018 £12.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Aphex Twin Collapse £12.00 Genre: Electronica Label: Warp SKU: WAP423 Formats: 12", EP/Mini Album, Includes Download Code Released Date: 11th September 2018 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Recoil Subhuman Electronica | Mute | 2LP, Gatefold Sleeve, Includes Download Code Released 15th September 2023 £25.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Recoil Subhuman £25.00 Genre: Electronica Label: Mute SKU: STUMM279 Formats: 2LP, Gatefold Sleeve, Includes Download Code Released Date: 15th September 2023 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Gas Der Lange Marsch Electronica | Kompakt | 2LP, Includes Download Code Released 9th August 2024 £31.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Gas Der Lange Marsch £31.00 Genre: Electronica Label: Kompakt SKU: Kompakt466 Formats: 2LP, Includes Download Code Released Date: 9th August 2024 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Goldie Inner City Life (2020 Remix EP) Electronica | London Records | 12", Single Released 16th April 2021 £14.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Goldie Inner City Life (2020 Remix EP) £14.00 Genre: Electronica Label: London Records SKU: LMS5521380 Formats: 12", Single Released Date: 16th April 2021 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Moby & The Void Pacific Choir Are You Lost In The World Like Me Electronica | Little Idiot | 12", EP/Mini Album Released 28th July 2017 £10.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Moby & The Void Pacific Choir Are You Lost In The World Like Me £10.00 Genre: Electronica Label: Little Idiot SKU: IDIOT52V Formats: 12", EP/Mini Album Released Date: 28th July 2017 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Hiroshi Yoshimura GREEN Electronica | Light In The Attic | 1LP Released 31st July 2020 £28.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Hiroshi Yoshimura GREEN £28.00 Genre: Electronica Label: Light In The Attic SKU: LITA192WC011 Formats: 1LP Released Date: 31st July 2020 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Royksopp Profound Mysteries III Electronica | Dog Triumph | 2LP, Gatefold Sleeve Released 18th November 2022 £27.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Royksopp Profound Mysteries III £27.00 Genre: Electronica Label: Dog Triumph SKU: DOG053LP Formats: 2LP, Gatefold Sleeve Released Date: 18th November 2022 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders See more in Electronica Start again
