Robert Alfons' solo project builds dense atmospheres across albums like 'Joyland' and 'The Destroyer'.
For a good sense of the territory, put on 'Sulk' and then 'Gone'. They show how Alfons can pull you into a specific, slightly shadowed world without losing the thread of a song.
TR/ST's sound has a particular density that feels both intimate and expansive. Songs like 'Bicep' and 'Iris' wrap you in layers of texture while keeping a pop sensibility close. It's electronic music that doesn't shy away from feeling a little heavy, a little lived-in.
The project started with the 2012 EP 'Candy Walls' while Alfons was in Ottawa, then moved to New York around 2010. The self-titled debut arrived in 2014, followed by 'Joyland' in 2016 and the 'The Destroyer' series from 2019 to 2021.
