Alex G Performs NPR Tiny Desk Concert

Alex G makes his NPR Tiny Desk debut today with an intimate set featuring “Runner” and “Miracles,” off his new album God Save the Animals, as well as his 2019 single “Gretel” and 2015’s “Snot.” Alex was joined by bandmates Sam Acchione (guitar), Molly Germer (piano, violin), John Heywood (bass), and Tom Kelly (drums).


Alex recently gave an interview to NPR’s Weekend Edition; listen here.  

God Save the Animals is out now and has so far been named one of the year’s best albums by theNew York Times, Pitchfork, Rolling Stone, Billboard, Paste, Stereogum, Uproxx, Exclaim, The Ringer, Consequence, and Pop Matters

Alex G God Save The Animals

Album | 23rd September 2022

“God” figures in the ninth album from Philadelphia, PA based Alex Giannascoli's LP’s title, its first song, and multiple of its thirteen tracks thereafter, not as a concrete religious entity but as a sign for a generalized sense of faith (in something, anything) that fortifies Giannascoli, or the characters he voices, amid the songs’ often fraught situations.

Beyond the ambient inspiration of pop, Giannascoli has been drawn in recent years to artists who balance the public and hermetic, the oblique and the intimate, and who present faith more as a shared social language than religious doctrine.

As with his previous records, Giannascoli wrote and demoed these songs by himself, at home; but, for the sake of both new tones and “a routine that was outside of my apartment,” he asked some half-dozen engineers to help him produce the “best” recording qualitywhatever that meant. The result is an album more dynamic than ever in its sonic palette.
