About this product
The 4th full-length studio album by Robert Alfons aka TR/ST (fka Trust), 'Performance,' sinks even further into the nasty synth-pop psychodrama that the project has pioneered and, finally, perfected across over a decade of evolution. 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, InchSoon,Inch swells to life with hymnal electronics before kicking through the dance floor with a huge new wave hook, spiked with caustic kiss-off lyrics (InchAsleep 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 liarInch). 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 - InchAll At Once,Inch InchThe Shore,Inch InchDark Day,Inch InchBoys of LA.Inch 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 InchNow we see the rotten mind / It's eye to eye and myste

![Transistor Rodeo - Truck & A Radio - COMPACT DISCS [CD]](https://pisces.bbystatic.com/image2/BestBuy_US/images/products/55040c6a-e033-4975-b59f-5065325d874f.jpg;maxHeight=422;maxWidth=264?format=webp)
A long awaited and much anticipated new by Transistor Rodeo. InchTruck and a RadioInch marks a new approach to the band's presentation of material. This new album sets the songs on a bare bones, primitive palette; no elaborate arrangements, soloists, backing vocals or any additional instrumentation. The pure sound of guitar, bass & drums leave only the heart of rock & roll to fuel the material, letting the songs stand on their own merit. This also allows the band to give the audience a true reflection of a live performance. Recorded by Tim Eschliman for Globe Records, it brings Transistor Rodeo back home to the tag that helped launch Dave Erdmann's song writing passion over two decades ago. Truck And A Radio is unique in the band's catalog of releases, inspired by the likes of Buddy Holly and The Clash bringing simplicity to the material. This album brings together the guitar stylings and prolific song writing of David Erdmann and his close-knit rhythm section, Sean Brown on bass and Steve Bryant on drums.It was mixed by four-time Emmy award winner Dana Kirkpatrick & mastered by Rob Beaton who started at the famed Record Plant Studios in Sausalito. Between Tim, Dana & Rob the InchbalanceInch of the album sits where it should, letting the songs do the talking. Sit back & listen to the music produced by the restless imagination of this musical storyteller.
Mac Miller's critically acclaimed album blends hip-hop, soul, jazz, and romance into one of his most ambitious and personal works.
