Trust -- the synth project from mastermind Robert Alfons -- is releasing the follow up to 2012's excellent album TRST. Joyland is full of electro-synthastic sounds, some of which have an interesting story behind them -- Alfons revealed that "Are We Arc" was written on the side of volcano while in Argentina, inspired by patience and lava. Take a listen to Joyland in full ahead of its March 4th release over at Pitchfork. Pre-order Joyland from iTunes and Amazon.
