TR/ST is the musical project of Toronto artist Robert Alfons.

After years of extensive touring, and garnering glowing praise from top international critics at Pitchfork, VICE, and The Guardian UK for the 2012 Juno-nominated debut album 'TRST', the follow up album 'Joyland' will be released by Arts & Crafts on March 4, 2014.

'Joyland' is an eruption of guts, eels, and joy.

- "'Rescue, Mister' features a slightly clarified sound compared to TRST's grinding grit, with some impressive vocal acrobatics from Alfons.” - Pitchfork
- "'Rescue, Mister' is harder and clubbier and more concrete than anything on TRST, but it keeps some fundamental darkness intact.” -Stereogum
- "'Rescue, Mister' proves that Alfons's lost none of his synth craftmanship, sending disco-pop through a crazed, futuregasm vortex.” - This is Fake DIY
