Alex G - DSU

pitchfork

Recording as Alex G, Pennsylvania native Alex Giannascoli's gnarled, wobbly, unfailingly melodic guitar pop evokes Big Star, Elliott Smith, and Built to Spill, as well as more recent low-key breakouts like Youth Lagoon and Jackson Scott. His new album DSU is worthy of its moment, a 13-song set of warped, idiosyncratic sketches, each capable of wending its way to a distinct place into the hearts of anyone who ever warmed to the idea of "indie rock".
