TR/ST, the musical project of producer, singer, and artist Robert Alfons, is set to release new album 'Performance' on Sept 13th via Dais Records and is today sharing new single "Dark Day", produced by Cecile Believe and Nightfeelings.

TR/ST will also play a run of European shows this autumn including a headline London show on October 23rd.
On the track, Alfons said “I think there's something in the song about the flashes that come to you when you try to fall asleep, flashes that show you where you have unfinished business. It was such a pleasure working with Cecile Believe and Nightfeelings on production for this track.”

Weaving an entirely unique sonic tapestry, Alfons has been captivating audiences with his dynamic vocals, emotive lyrics, and late night sensuality for over a decade now. Recorded in Los Angeles, the songs on new album Performance 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 music moves between beauty and bitterness, anthem and anguish, the sound of melancholia gone massive. Track after track, Alfons wields pop dynamics and brooding production wizardry like a weapon, spiraling through a roll call of hits. 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.
