TR/ST (fka Trust) is the musical alias of producer, singer, and performer Robert Alfons. Born in Winnipeg, Canada (but based in Los Angeles for the past decade), he has released a string of celebrated albums fusing swooning synth-pop, confessional darkwave, and anthemic emotion: ‘TRST’ (2012), ‘Joyland‘ (2014), ‘The Destroyer – Part One’ (2019), and ‘The Destroyer – Part Two’ (2019). Alfons has now joined Dais Records to bring in the next era of TR/ST.
Now, he releases of the new, minimally titled ‘TR/ST EP’ which features four new tracks in addition to Robrash: the new dance floor heater Run featuring hyperpop star Cecile Believe, a beautiful cover of the Pet Shop Boys classic 1990 anthem Being Boring featuring Jake Shears (Scissor Sisters), the delicate and gauzy nearly-ambient composition Evercall, and an official release of the fan favourite Slug, previously only released to YouTube in 2015.
Alfons confirms he is in the studio working on a new album, expanding their singular sound in ways both cinematic and surprising: “Bigger, better, beautiful, and buried in mud.”
