DSU is an album for kids that scour the internet as they would a crate full of physical records” DiS 8/10

Ahead of his first ever visit outside of the US this November, which includes an already sold-out headline show at London’s Sebright Arms, the anticipation for Philadelphia native Alex G’s gritty and lo-fi-tinged music has been building. So much so that he’s booked his next run of UK and first European dates for this coming February and March – set to take in Berlin, Paris, London and more. Vote up content that is on-topic, within the rules/guidelines, and will likely stay relevant long-term. 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. 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.

In 2015, Giannascoli signed with Domino Recording Company and released his debut with the label Beach Music on October 9. [10] The following year, Giannascoli worked with Frank Ocean on his albums Endless and Blonde, providing guitars and arrangements for several songs. [11]

Every song feels so special and I wish I could listen to it for the first time again. He has been recording music since he was a teenager, amassing a sizable and dedicated internet fan base. Alex said himself in an interview with VICE that his rise to popularity came due to him becoming “Bandcamp famous.”Here Are The Full Liner Notes To Frank Ocean's "Blonde" ". Genius.
