Alex G shares new single, announces North American tour with Barrie and Hatchie
Alex G is back with a new single, "Blessing," that begins with a blast of woozy synths and then develops into a gritty, '90s-style alt-rock track. "I was up pretty early one morning because I couldn’t sleep and I started playing guitar and wrote this song really quickly," Alex G told Apple Music's Hanuman Welch. "Once I demoed it out and showed it to my band we all recorded it together at this studio in Upstate New York. We had never done that before. Everything at once in the room together. The song is chopped up. The instrumentals were all done live, which is kinda unique I guess. To be honest, I wrote it so quick. Maybe lack of sleep helped write it." The video, directed by Zev Magasis, also has a late-'90s alt-rock feel to it. Watch below.
Wrapping up dates with Bright Eyes next week, Alex G will be back out this fall on a headlining tour of North America. The first half of the tour is with Barrie, and the second half is with Hatchie. The dates with Hatchie include two nights at NYC's Brooklyn Steel on November 11 & 12. All dates are listed below.
