Limited black and blue colored vinyl LP pressing. TR/ST, the dark electropop project of Robert Alfons, follows-up 2014's Joyland with the new two-part album The Destroyer (the first released in April 2019 and the second following in November). Maya Postepski, Alfon's collaborator on the 2012 Juno Award-nominated debut TRST, co-wrote and co-produced six songs, while Alfons also worked with co-producers Lars Stalfors and Damian Taylor to refine the record's sound. But he found the key ingredient to creating the driving, anthemic songs was patience. "My first two records were put out so close to one another that I think of them as one," he says, "They just poured out of me. With The Destroyer, the process was entirely different. It was so much more careful. I found myself seeking spaces of absolute quiet; I needed them in order to hear what was going on inside."
