Alex G

In September 2013, Alex G was riding high on the momentum of his album 'DSU,' which had dropped just a year earlier. This live recording captures a period when he was truly defining his sound—raw, intimate, and irresistibly engaging. During this performance at WXVU, he showcases tracks like 'Soaker' and 'Forever,' highlighting his ability to blend lo-fi charm with emotional depth. Notably, the album 'DSU' was a reflection of his evolving artistry, seen as pivotal in building his grassroots following. The acoustic nature of the performance matches the essence of his work, allowing listeners to connect with his songs in a personal way. It's fascinating to think how this live moment contributed to further shaping his musical journey, as he would go on to experiment even more deeply in subsequent albums like 'Beach Music' and beyond.
