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 Luke Abbott Music From The Edge Of An Island Electronica | Float | 1LP Released 29th March 2019 £20.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Luke Abbott Music From The Edge Of An Island £20.00 Genre: Electronica Label: Float SKU: FLOAT3LP Formats: 1LP Released Date: 29th March 2019 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Nearly New View Product Quick View Pierre Raph / Jane Weaver La Rose De Fer / Intiaani Kesä Electronica | Disposable Music | 1LP Released 14th July 2022 £12.00 Add to basket Reserve View Reservations Pierre Raph / Jane Weaver La Rose De Fer / Intiaani Kesä £12.00 Genre: Electronica Label: Disposable Music SKU: nn246115 Formats: 1LP Released Date: 14th July 2022 Reserve View Reservations Read More Add to basket View Product Quick View Fever Ray Plunge Remix Electronica | Rabid Records | 2LP Released 22nd November 2019 £23.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Fever Ray Plunge Remix £23.00 Genre: Electronica Label: Rabid Records SKU: RABID083T Formats: 2LP Released Date: 22nd November 2019 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Dave Clarke The Desecration Of Desire Electronica | Warner Music | 2LP, Coloured Vinyl, Gatefold Sleeve Released 27th October 2017 £22.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Dave Clarke The Desecration Of Desire £22.00 Genre: Electronica Label: Warner Music SKU: 4050538314588 Formats: 2LP, Coloured Vinyl, Gatefold Sleeve Released Date: 27th October 2017 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Nicolas Godin Contrepoint Indie Exclusive 180g Blue Vinyl Electronica | Because Music | 180g, 1LP, Gatefold Sleeve, Includes CD Released 14th September 2015 £19.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Nicolas Godin Contrepoint Indie Exclusive 180g Blue Vinyl £19.00 Genre: Electronica Label: Because Music SKU: 5060421561707 Formats: 180g, 1LP, Gatefold Sleeve, Includes CD Released Date: 14th September 2015 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View DJ Harrison Shades of Yesterday Electronica | Stones Throw Records | 1LP Released 9th February 2024 £25.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders DJ Harrison Shades of Yesterday £25.00 Genre: Electronica Label: Stones Throw Records SKU: STH2474LP Formats: 1LP Released Date: 9th February 2024 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Ben Marc Glass Effect Electronica | Innovative Leisure | 1LP Released 3rd June 2022 £23.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Ben Marc Glass Effect £23.00 Genre: Electronica Label: Innovative Leisure SKU: LPIL2086 Formats: 1LP Released Date: 3rd June 2022 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Laurence Guy Living Like There’s No Tomorrow, But Killing Yourself In The Process Electronica | Accidental Pieces | 2LP Released 7th July 2023 £23.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Laurence Guy Living Like There’s No Tomorrow, But Killing Yourself In The Process £23.00 Genre: Electronica Label: Accidental Pieces SKU: LLTNTKP001LP Formats: 2LP Released Date: 7th July 2023 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Pentagram Home Video Who’s Out There?
