Our full range of studio equipment from all the leading equipment and software brands. Guaranteed fast delivery and low prices.this is probably his hookiest, its very good but house of sugar and then after that maybe DSU r his best imo. this is probably 3rd tho It's unlikely that anyone will say Alex G has the greatest natural talent for singing but this is beside the point. Each of the songs is endearing enough for this not to matter, and crucially, his vocal presence is never overbearing. He gives himself just the right amount of space to complement the surrounding constructions. Music so immensely personal, it’s hard to believe you’re even capable of comprehending the majority of what you’re hearing.” CMJ The most replayable of his albums in my opinion. Every song feels so special and I wish I could listen to it for the first time again. I think his earlier album highlights aren't that much better than the rest of the respective records, I find Alex very consistent (in contrast to his new albums which I think have the highest variance in style and quality). Honestly 99% of the time his best songs (early and late) become better in the context of the album/persona.

Alex G’s first album that was not self-published was DSU, which was released on June 17, 2014 through Orchid Tapes. It was a sleeper hit and gained acclaim on many music outlets, specifically Rolling Stone. After the release of the album, he briefly went on a tour in North America and in Europe.

Alex has just completed his first ever UK visit, which included a sold out show at London’s Sebright Arms. His final set list was a mammoth 21 songs, with request after request being shouted out from his audience of enraptured fans. His next run of UK and first European dates for this coming February and March are set to take place in Berlin, Paris, London and more. A majority of Alex G’s lyrics can be sorted into two distinct groups. "Memory” falls into the category of ‘character sketches,’ akin to a large portion of alt-country lyrics, where some of the most revered bands are known for their succinct, poetic drawings of everyday life. These lyrics are focused on rural, salt of the earth people and their stories that are rarely represented in popular media, whereas Alex’s character driven lyrics are generally about misfit adolescents trying to find their place in the world. “Memory’s” lyrics are sparse, with each line barely eclipsing eight words and only twelve lines in the whole song. But Alex is able to create a setting and atmosphere and coax your imagination to fill in the gaps. “Memory” describes a self medicating narrator reminiscing about their old friend. A hazy present and a hazy past swirling together and with only a feeling left over. Feinberg, Hannah (April 8, 2014). "On Our Radar: Emerging Philly Musician Alex G." Philadelphia .
