Alex G

Before the live recording of "Animals" on November 28, 2014, Alex G had just released his fourth album, 'DSU,' earlier that year. This collection showcased his unique blend of lo-fi and indie rock, resonating with fans and allowing him to cultivate a dedicated following. What’s interesting about Alex G is how his DIY approach to music really shines through during live performances. His intimate, raw sound translates well in a setting like World Cafe Live, where the audience can feel the emotional weight of tracks like 'Animals.' This performance predated his eventual rise to wider recognition, yet it encapsulated his authentic style that’s characterized by personal storytelling and experimentation. It's a reminder of a pivotal moment where his underground roots were beginning to garner attention beyond the usual circles.
