Marissa Lorusso | December 7, 2022
"I don't have a lot to say," Alex Giannascoli, who performs as Alex G, says with a laugh after his first song behind the Tiny Desk. Judging from his discography alone, that's not something you might ordinarily accuse the Philly singer-songwriter of: nine full-length albums in the last dozen years, in addition to a couple EPs and a film soundtrack. His prodigious output of melodic, peculiar indie rock has earned him a cult-beloved status. True, he got to play guitar on a couple Frank Ocean tracks - but for a more accurate indication of the fervor of his fanbase, turn your attention to the internet: the hours-long playlists of unreleased Alex G demos painstakingly assembled by fans on KZfaq, for example, or the raucous chatter among his fans on message boards.
At the Tiny Desk, Alex G and his band dialed down the volume for a handful of songs from across his vast discography. They started with a couple songs from his stellar new album, God Save The Animals, and also played some deeper cuts: "Gretel," a wonderfully creepy track from 2019's House of Sugar, and "Snot," the closer from 2015's Beach Music. Under the layers of electronics, experimentation and vocal effects on Alex G's studio records, you might lose sight of Giannascoli's primary strength as a songwriter and the emotional core of his music. But at the Tiny Desk, the stripped-down sound only underscored the sturdiness of his craft - no explanation required.

I saw Alex live and I yelled for him to play Snot. He looked at me and asked what I said. I said play Snot. He said ok, this ones called Snot and then proceeded to play a different song and everybody laughed at me.

The meaning of Gretel hit me during this performance when you finally are on a good path in life the temptations seem like a house of sugar but you’ve come so far you know u have to fight to stay away and it’s almost melancholic leaving your old destructive tendencies behind because you are parting from a past self but you know they don’t belong with you any longer

not only is their whole perfomance on tiny desk and alex's music in general wholesome, but can we just take a moment to say how wholesome the comment section on this video is? alex g's fanbase is really a reflection of their work - the best!

Fell in love with this guy’s music recently. Can’t stop cycling through his albums, with God Save the Animals at the top of that list. First half of this concert sounds amazing as well!

Not seen much of him live, but it’s neat how he can Incapsulate the bedroom feel in more open environments.

I have seen him live twice, he is amazing! I always notice he sounds different in recorded videos; I think he gets nervous in front of camera and it strains his voice

Alexs music has been in my life for years now and it will always be the most perfect encapsulation of the heaviness of growing up and the weight of innocence even when it is gone. He is truly one of the greatest artists of this generation and I am beyond thankful he shares his gift with us

Molly has added so much to the music. I'm so happy for them, when i found out he was gonna be a dad, i felt so happy and proud of him. I've been listening since i was 16 in 2014 and i found crab on tumblr. He was pretty young at that time too, so it just feels so cool that hes doing so well.
