From Bandcamp notoriety to a sold-out U.S. tour, Philadelphia-based songwriter, musician and producer Alex G has proven he’s here to stay (and only getting better). While his ninth studio album, God Save The Animals, might be his most innovative work to date, one thing stays consistent– Alex G’s incomparable storytelling ability. From dainty finger-picking to electronic vocal effects, warm piano moments and hyperpop surprises, the instrumentation feels complex and as if it shouldn’t work, yet the contrasting musical elements provide the perfect backdrop for Alex G’s confessional lyrics.
Watch Alex G perform “Mission” and “Runner” live at WNXP’s Sonic Cathedral.
