An Alex Giannascoli song can be anything. Ask someone what (Sandy) Alex G sounds like and you're bound to get a different answer every time. That answer will probably depend on when one hopped aboard the Alex G train. Earlier on, they might focus on the pitch-shifted oddities and acoustic warbles that make up his treasure trove of self-released material; more recently, they might be drawn to the roots-rock of Rocket, the glitchy anthems of DSU and Beach Music. Whatever the answer, the only thing tying these disparate songs together is Giannascoli himself, a singular figure whose idiosyncratic tastes have inspired the kind of fandom that's rare among indie-rock artists nowadays, a fanatical devotion that breeds Facebook meme groups and viral tweets that have a little to do with the musician himself, but even more to do with the compelling music that he creates.
