In May 2019, Alex G was riding a wave of growing recognition after the release of his album "Rocket" in 2017. The live performance at The Haunt in Ithaca, coming just two years later, showcased his evolution as an artist, marked by a blend of older favorites and new material. Notably, the set included "Fay," which was unreleased at the time, and "Sugar House," indicating that he was actively exploring new sonic territories while maintaining his signature lo-fi aesthetic. This concert was part of a period where Alex G was gaining traction in the indie music scene, collaborating with other artists like Tomberlin, who joined him for "Bobby." The intimate venue setting allowed for a personal connection with the audience, further solidifying his reputation as a compelling live performer. The inclusion of both established tracks and new songs in the set demonstrates his willingness to evolve while remaining connected to his roots.
