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 Dark Day Window Electronica | Dark Entries | 1LP Released 6th January 2014 £16.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Dark Day Window £16.00 Genre: Electronica Label: Dark Entries SKU: DE006LP Formats: 1LP Released Date: 6th January 2014 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Various Artists / Soul Jazz Records Presents Space Funk: Afro-Futurist Electro Funk In Space 1976-84 Electronica | Soul Jazz | 2LP Includes Download Code Released 22nd November 2019 £23.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Various Artists / Soul Jazz Records Presents Space Funk: Afro-Futurist Electro Funk In Space 1976-84 £23.00 Genre: Electronica Label: Soul Jazz Released Date: 22nd November 2019 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Jana Rush Painful Enlightenment Electronica | Planet Mu | 2LP Released 13th August 2021 £21.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Jana Rush Painful Enlightenment £21.00 Genre: Electronica Label: Planet Mu SKU: ZIQ428 Formats: 2LP Released Date: 13th August 2021 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Moby Destroyed Electronica | Little Idiot | 1LP Released 13th May 2011 £21.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Moby Destroyed £21.00 Genre: Electronica Label: Little Idiot SKU: IDIOT010LP Formats: 1LP Released Date: 13th May 2011 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Actress LXXXVIII Electronica | Ninja Tune | 3LP, Coloured Vinyl Released 3rd November 2023 £24.00 - £36.00 Select options Actress LXXXVIII £24.00 - £36.00 Genre: Electronica Label: Ninja Tune Formats: 3LP, Coloured Vinyl Released Date: 3rd November 2023 Read More Select options View Product Quick View Jazzy Constellations Electronica | Polydor | 12", EP/Mini Album Released 20th October 2023 £20.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Jazzy Constellations £20.00 Genre: Electronica Label: Polydor SKU: CHAOS002V Formats: 12", EP/Mini Album Released Date: 20th October 2023 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Telex LOONEY TUNES Electronica | Mute | 1LP Released 10th November 2023 £22.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Telex LOONEY TUNES £22.00 Genre: Electronica Label: Mute SKU: TELEX5 Formats: 1LP Released Date: 10th November 2023 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Plaid Reachy Prints Electronica | Warp | 1LP Released 19th May 2014 £15.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Plaid Reachy Prints £15.00 Genre: Electronica Label: Warp SKU: WARPLP250 Formats: 1LP Released Date: 19th May 2014 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Eli & Fur Dreamscapes Electronica | [PIAS] Électronique | 2LP, Coloured Vinyl Released 27th September 2024 £34.00 Pre Order View Pre/Back Orders Eli & Fur Dreamscapes £34.00 Genre: Electronica Label: [PIAS] Électronique SKU: PIASE0045LP Formats: 2LP, Coloured Vinyl Released Date: 27th September 2024 Read More Pre Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Oneohtrix Point Never Age Of Electronica | Warp | 1LP, Includes Download Code Released 29th May 2018 £19.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Oneohtrix Point Never Age Of £19.00 Genre: Electronica Label: Warp SKU: WARPLP295 Formats: 1LP, Includes Download Code Released Date: 29th May 2018 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders See more in Electronica Start again
