Alex G

Alex G‘s new album and first for Domino, Beach Music, comes out this week. It’s a hazy, kinda slowcore-ish record, and not without the quirk of his earlier releases. You can stream the whole thing below, via Hype Machine.

As previously discussed, Alex has release shows in NYC this week. The first is Baby’s All Right on Thursday (10/8), which is sold out, and the second would have been Friday (10/9) at Silent Barn. Since Silent Barn is currently recovering from a fire, Friday’s show has been moved to new venue SkyHigh Murals Future HQ (1109 Metropolitan Ave) and it’s now also a benefit for Silent Barn. Frankie Cosmos and Palm were both added since we last spoke, and Emily Yacina opens too. Tickets are on sale now.

Alex also added a 7 PM acoustic in-store at Rough Trade NYC (10/9) happening right before the SkyHigh Murals Future HQ show. It’s totally free, no wristband required. More info here.
