Spunk Records is thrilled to release 'Trick,' the latest album to be physically released by the Philadelphia-based songwriter Alex Giannascoli, more commonly known as Alex G!
'Trick' follows on the acclaimed heels of the June 2014 release of Alex's fifth album, 'DSU.' Recorded prior to 'DSU' and previously only available via Alex's Bandcamp account, the tracks have now been professionally mastered and are being made commercially available for the very first time.
In their extensive profile, The Fader, wrote that Alex G is "the type of artist to make a person go all Garden State," a fact solidified with the often enrapt audiences hushedly singing along word-by-word to album track "Change." Alex himself acknowledges that this song, like much of his repertoire, "resonates with a lot of people, probably because the lyrics deal with growing away from people you love... something that everyone experiences."
'Trick' features many of the fan and live favorites, including the infectious off-kilter anthem "Forever," the dreamy and surreal "Animals" and the aforementioned, charmingly lo-fi "Change." 'Trick' is soaked in the distinctive personality that is Alex G; the professionally mastered versions of these tracks affirming that underneath all the unconventional guitar lines and scrawls of fuzz, Alex has a serious knack for melodic songwriting.
'Trick' continues to showcase a prodigious song-writing talent, reaffirming that Alex G is one of the most promising and prolific American musicians today.
