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 Ruth Mascelli Non-Stop Healing Frequency Electronica | Disciples | 1LP Released 28th July 2023 £20.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Ruth Mascelli Non-Stop Healing Frequency £20.00 Genre: Electronica Label: Disciples SKU: DISC23 Formats: 1LP Released Date: 28th July 2023 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Kasbo The Making of a Paracosm Electronica | Counter Records | 2LP, Coloured Vinyl, Gatefold Sleeve Released 23rd October 2020 £25.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Kasbo The Making of a Paracosm £25.00 Genre: Electronica Label: Counter Records SKU: COUNT190 Formats: 2LP, Coloured Vinyl, Gatefold Sleeve Released Date: 23rd October 2020 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Various Artists Plastic Dance 2 Electronica | Cache Cache | 1LP Released 3rd May 2019 £19.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Various Artists Plastic Dance 2 £19.00 Genre: Electronica Label: Cache Cache SKU: CACHE021LP Formats: 1LP Released Date: 3rd May 2019 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Retep Folo Galactic Sounds Electronica | Clay Pipe Music | 1LP, Coloured Vinyl, Includes Download Code Released 19th April 2018 £16.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Retep Folo Galactic Sounds £16.00 Genre: Electronica Label: Clay Pipe Music SKU: PIPE017 Formats: 1LP, Coloured Vinyl, Includes Download Code Released Date: 19th April 2018 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Hen Ogledd Mogic (Indies Only) Electronica | Weird World | 1LP, Coloured Vinyl, Includes Download Code Released 13th November 2018 £22.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Hen Ogledd Mogic (Indies Only) £22.00 Genre: Electronica Label: Weird World SKU: WEIRD114LPX Formats: 1LP, Coloured Vinyl, Includes Download Code Released Date: 13th November 2018 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Various Artists DEUTSCHE ELEKTRONISCHE MUSIK 4 – Experimental German Rock and Electronic Music 1971-83 Electronica | Soul Jazz | 3LP Released 16th October 2020 £25.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Various Artists DEUTSCHE ELEKTRONISCHE MUSIK 4 – Experimental German Rock and Electronic Music 1971-83 £25.00 Genre: Electronica Label: Soul Jazz SKU: SJRLP459 Formats: 3LP Released Date: 16th October 2020 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Number Binary Electronica | Sunday Best | 1LP Released 23rd October 2020 £18.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Number Binary £18.00 Genre: Electronica Label: Sunday Best SKU: SBESTLP86 Formats: 1LP Released Date: 23rd October 2020 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Ellen Allien Stadtkind Electronica | BPitch Control | 2LP Released 7th January 2022 £23.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Ellen Allien Stadtkind £23.00 Genre: Electronica Label: BPitch Control SKU: BPX21LPR Formats: 2LP Released Date: 7th January 2022 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Bibio Sunbursting EP Electronica | Warp | 12", EP/Mini Album, Includes Download Code Released 22nd September 2023 £21.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Bibio Sunbursting EP £21.00 Genre: Electronica Label: Warp SKU: WAP481 Formats: 12", EP/Mini Album, Includes Download Code Released Date: 22nd September 2023 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Laibach LOVE IS STILL ALIVE Electronica | Mute | 1LP, Coloured Vinyl, Includes Download Code Released 3rd March 2023 £19.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Laibach LOVE IS STILL ALIVE £19.00 Genre: Electronica Label: Mute SKU: 12MUTE653 Formats: 1LP, Coloured Vinyl, Includes Download Code Released Date: 3rd March 2023 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders See more in Electronica Start again
