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 Nearly New View Product Quick View AmmonContact Sounds Like Everything Electronica | Plug Research | 1LP Released 6th December 2022 £9.00 Add to basket Reserve View Reservations AmmonContact Sounds Like Everything £9.00 Genre: Electronica Label: Plug Research SKU: nn254594 Formats: 1LP Released Date: 6th December 2022 Reserve View Reservations Read More Add to basket View Product Quick View André Bratten Picture Music Electronica | Smalltown Supersound | 1LP Released 22nd April 2022 £21.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders André Bratten Picture Music £21.00 Genre: Electronica Label: Smalltown Supersound SKU: STS403 Formats: 1LP Released Date: 22nd April 2022 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Kaleida Tear The Roots – RSD Store Exclusive White Vinyl Electronica | Lex | 180g, 1LP, Coloured Vinyl Released 11th September 2017 £16.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Kaleida Tear The Roots – RSD Store Exclusive White Vinyl £16.00 Genre: Electronica Label: Lex SKU: 0878390003853 Formats: 180g, 1LP, Coloured Vinyl Released Date: 11th September 2017 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Nightmares On Wax Late Night Tales: Nightmares on Wax Electronica | Latenighttales | 180g, 2LP, Includes Download Code Released 21st June 2024 £26.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Nightmares On Wax Late Night Tales: Nightmares on Wax £26.00 Genre: Electronica Label: Latenighttales SKU: ALNLP8 Formats: 180g, 2LP, Includes Download Code Released Date: 21st June 2024 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Joe Goddard Harmonics Electronica | Domino | 2LP, Coloured Vinyl, Gatefold Sleeve Released 12th July 2024 £26.00 - £30.00 Select options Joe Goddard Harmonics £26.00 - £30.00 Genre: Electronica Label: Domino Formats: 2LP, Coloured Vinyl, Gatefold Sleeve Released Date: 12th July 2024 Read More Select options View Product Quick View Ben Hauke Only Old Electronica | Far Out Records | 1LP Released 3rd August 2018 £16.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Ben Hauke Only Old £16.00 Genre: Electronica Label: Far Out Records SKU: JD43 Formats: 1LP Released Date: 3rd August 2018 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Metronomy Summer 08 Electronica | Because Music | 1LP, Includes CD Released 1st July 2016 £17.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Metronomy Summer 08 £17.00 Genre: Electronica Label: Because Music SKU: BEC5156494 Formats: 1LP, Includes CD Released Date: 1st July 2016 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Future Sound Of London, The Cascade 2020 Electronica | FSOL DIGITAL | 1LP Released 29th January 2021 £16.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Future Sound Of London, The Cascade 2020 £16.00 Genre: Electronica Label: FSOL DIGITAL SKU: LPTOT77 Formats: 1LP Released Date: 29th January 2021 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Ulrich Schnauss & Mark Peters Underrated Silence Electronica | Bureau B | 1LP, Includes CD Released 5th December 2011 £16.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Ulrich Schnauss & Mark Peters Underrated Silence £16.00 Genre: Electronica Label: Bureau B SKU: BB94LP Formats: 1LP, Includes CD Released Date: 5th December 2011 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Ela Minus acts of rebellion Electronica | Domino | 1LP, Coloured Vinyl, Includes Download Code, Includes Poster Released 23rd October 2020 £22.00 Select options Ela Minus acts of rebellion £22.00 Genre: Electronica Label: Domino Formats: 1LP, Coloured Vinyl, Includes Download Code, Includes Poster Released Date: 23rd October 2020 Read More Select options See more in Electronica Start again
