Cup Of Coffee: TRUST
Вставка
- Опубліковано 4 лют 2013
- Backstage at London's Electrowerkz last week I had a cup of coffee with TRUST, aka Robert Alfons, aka the one-man-electro-goth-band.
Not one to reveal his age but happy to talk about his upbringing and musical inspirations, Mr Alfons would collaborate with Calvin Harris as he'd think "it would be really fun. I would be so interested to see how something like that would work and how they would write a song." Saying that, chart dominance is not on his mind.
Mr Alfons also spills some deets on his forthcoming album number two, reveals his thoughts on on music piracy and "how ridiculous it would be to try to keep tabs on it" and tells me why he does not read his own press.

I wanna see Trust, Grimes and Crystal Castles all in one show.
was thinking the sameeee
vviczz1 where are you from?
I would fly anywhere in the world for that trifecta!
Well, you can't now.
Why do you say that?
How does a voice like that sing... like that? I'm fascinated.
Hmm, I assumed he'd have a baritone voice (like in much of his singing).
Omg I know. How does he hit those low notes.
hes outrageously cute
I love this guy. His music, lyrics, voice, everything. Its more than moving to me. Makes me feel, amazing. Wish I could see him in concert
100 or 500% maybe with you. I've been obsessed since I first discovered them it's just like joy division for me
shit his hair is so cool i love it
I knew he would seem like this in person. The most creative people seem ordinary until they work on their art form
It's funny because most singers talk with a deep voice yet even sing in falsetto, but he kind of does the opposite lol
Wow, certainly not what I expected his conversational voice to sound like lol
which makes it even more amazing that he came up with that kind of singing style
Yeah I imagined his voice would be much lower
Oh God! I'm in love with him!
I'm love with u
He's just soo damn cute.
Robert's voice was so wicked..Well he sings..Like that, wow.
He's so cute i wanna hug him 😭
i love his energy 💓
You are amazing, Robert! Joyland is right on!
as a huge music collector & lover, I fully agree this debut album is the best album of 2012!
Both members are ridiculously TALENTED!!!!!!!
Great interview. Trust is my new favorite synthpop band, best synthpop since I discovered mesh
Saw them with The Faint in Sacramento. I feel like if industrial is coming back, these guys are going to be the ones to make it happen.
I still can't understand how these guys haven't been bigger I think somebody big could have easily represented them they fit in really nicely without selling out. Same like boy harsher they're not comparable but I love them and have trst to thank for discovering them
Yo, his normal speaking voice is so much different than I imagined it to be XD
This guy is a genius!
oh, the interview with him on UA-cam, finally! And yes, I also expected him being different. Like some shy, frowning, melancholic guy, but he totally broke my idea. He's incredible and I cannot wait for his new stuff!
i NEED that second album in my life, love your work trust!
his voice... was so unexpected i would feel more comfortable around him like that
I'm so glad I wasn't the only one saying Ace of bases first album was really special and had so much potential for today's music they have house and trance in there, it's real good this coming from Robert Hiley makes my day. Trust has been 'a known pleasure' for me since 2013 when I first heard them and I love every album I usually put them on repeat but the first one is still my favorite.
@darklight1030 Gotcha... he writes and records everything. When you're talking about industrial and dark wave there are fine lines for me personally as a musician. Regardless of what "genre" he gets lumped into I still very much appreciate his approach and originality within the current river of shit that's being crammed down everyone's throats. We need more of this and more EBM clubs.
He is so inspiring to me
Its just him, not really a band, and help from Austra. He also claims his music is his interpretation of dance synth pop in 90s, but definitely more dark wave electronic dance than industrial. I've seen him 3 times, so great
Whoa, he is very different in person than what I expected!
I could listen to him talk forever.
He didn't cut the drummer...Maya Postepski is also the drummer in Austra, and they had other stuff going on.
For sure
What is his jacket omg i want it like brand or anything plssss
Витас, Витас ахахахах
ахахахахахаххаха
not what i expected, makes amazing music though
I thought he was gonna seem super 80s gothic and mysterious hahaha! Seems like a cool guy tho!
My fav song is slug especially at 1 minute and 13 seconds ( chorus)
Question: Who are the musicians they talk about?
Hell ya
Hahaha didn't expect Vitas at all! Made my day.. check out Shortparis
I wanna see Maya too, she's such a cool girl
they posted the link for this video on their facebook page for like 5 seconds and deleted. I think it was a mistake...
TRST was best 2012 album...
and he is cute.
Inspiración.
how do you know that???
He remembers me a lot of River Phoenix. Face & voice. :)
The Saturdays brought me here.
Me too ._.
how?
Ahhhh Winnipeg, if only more people there actually liked good music.
so, how old is he?
that's boring
He's 34 now .
Is it just me or does Robert Alfons look exactly like Justin pierce from kids
Your questions were so blunt ha
wtf is he talkin about calvin harris and rihanna for?
Charlie Firefly so random lol
Dude's gay, but damn he has the voice of an angel. Excellent group!
Alfons marry me!!
Leo Mora do u have instagram?
Maya is no longer part of Trust, unfortunately.
Maya who???
Luis _ uhhh maya postepski? Aka the (former) drummer/ other half of tr/st?? Lol
She left after the first album to focus on Austra, the other musical project she was/is a part of
lrardriguez and she actually kind of is again 😊
Last I knew which was a couple of months ago, he cut the drummer. Pretty sure that is still the case. They have a play button for the base lines haha
omg, why are you so pretentious, stop telling what you expected from him or how delusional you are by listening how he talks or if hes gay or not, we dont fucking care, love him for what and how he is and thats it, he makes amazing music and thats what matters.
crush
"and like, like like like..." Bubble burst.
lol, my thoughts exactly. Think he's been hangin' out with Grimes like too much like.
And stop saying um!
my gosh ...so much hipster
Is he gay? Had no idea hah
LOOL
does it matter?
Obviously gay...lol But after seeing him perform live, that's obvious.
and?
I'm glad it's just him. Not a fan of the drummer.
Calvin Harris blah. Go back to afx
I don't belive he is gay :o
