Description

First time on colored vinyl. TRST, the debut self-titled record from Robert Alfons and Maya Postepski, features tales of lust, wax, and erotomania carried along on a dense black vapor of speed, space and tears. TRST s malevolent, sexy synth-pop (Pitchfork) erupted out of Toronto s fertile underground music scene alongside darkwave contemporaries Crystal Castles and Austra. Lead by Alfons otherworldly, gender-bending vocals and Postepski s genre-defying production, the album deftly moves across electronic pop, industrial, trance, and more. After two singles on Sacred Bones Records, TRST signed to Arts & Crafts for the album s release with accolades pouring in from outlets like NME, Pitchfork, and Under The Radar. To date, the album has sold 30,000 units in the US.
