Alex Giannascoli reached audiences beyond Bandcamp for the first time last year with DSU, a mostly upbeat collection of bedroom-spun indie rock that showcased a 21-year-old Philadelphian with a knack for songcraft and a tinkerer's curiosity. On his Domino debut, he gets darker and weirder than ever.

Check out our album review of Artist's Beach Music on Rolling Stone.com.

This record was defined by never being in the same place at once but there’s a glue holding everything together.

A prolific songwriter still in his early twenties, Alex G (Alex Giannascoli) delivers Beach Music, his first album with the Domino label, after 2014's DSU, multiple self-released sets, and scores of uploaded songs over the prior few years.

Beach Music is Alex Giannascoli's seventh album in five years – he pens songs like it’s some kind of bodily reflex; swift, spontaneous and essential.
