House of Sugar— (Sandy) Alex G’s ninth overall album and his third for Domino — emerges as his most meticulous, cohesive album yet: a statement of artistic purpose, showing off his ear for both persistent earworms and sonic adventurism.
"Pennsylvania native Alex Giannascoli's gnarled, wobbly, unfailingly melodic guitar pop evokes big star, Elliott Smith, and Built to Spill." -Pitchfork
Over the course of six self-recorded and mostly self-released LPs, Alex G has built a body of work unassuming in it's presentation but astounding in it's depth.
His first real "studio" album with an actual band, Will Toledo moves from bedroom pop to something approaching classic rock grandeur and huge narrative ambitions, with nods to the Cars, Pavement, Jonathan Richman, Wire, and William Onyeabor.
