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 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 Kaitlyn Aurelia Smith Let’s Turn It Into Sound Electronica | Ghostly | 1LP, Coloured Vinyl Released 26th August 2022 £22.00 - £24.00 Select options Kaitlyn Aurelia Smith Let’s Turn It Into Sound £22.00 - £24.00 Genre: Electronica Label: Ghostly Formats: 1LP, Coloured Vinyl Released Date: 26th August 2022 Read More Select options View Product Quick View Telex Wonderful World Electronica | Mute | 1LP Released 10th November 2023 £22.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Telex Wonderful World £22.00 Genre: Electronica Label: Mute SKU: TELEX4 Formats: 1LP Released Date: 10th November 2023 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Pattern Forms, The Peel Away The Ivy Electronica | Ghost Box | 180g, 1LP Released 19th October 2016 £15.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Pattern Forms, The Peel Away The Ivy £15.00 Genre: Electronica Label: Ghost Box SKU: GBX027LP Formats: 180g, 1LP Released Date: 19th October 2016 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Nightmares On Wax Remixed!
