I remember seeing him live in Mexico but not in a festival or anything, in 2019 he came to a small bar completely unannounced (I think he only posted a flier on instagram), he played to a small crowd but even still the place got cramped so the whole experience was pretty intimate and he took requests from the crowd, he even let a fan go up in the stage and play the guitar while he sang the lyrics, it was pretty sweet.
@@tristanburchard5771 the ones he made as a teen have depressive qualities but a lot of his new stuff seems optimistic and colourful. weird of you to assume ive only listened to those songs you dont know me dawg
2:12 I love dsu so much, it’s definitely a lot different from trick but I really like how he used a pan flute in the instrumental. Some songs in trick have it, especially Sarah. Dsu definitely Harvey. They instrumentals is so similar and different at the same time.
i love alex g!! its so nice to see people praise his wonderful work :) sarah is my favorite track by far, i found it in 2020 dueing a very hard time in my life and its stuck with me in a way very few songs have. btw, your transition with the records on the shelf is neat!
Sarah is such a wonderful song, I’m glad it was able to help you through a tough time! It seems like so many of Alex’s songs have been able to help people in a time of need. And thanks for the kind words about the transitions :)
Just started listening to Alex G, took me a ridiculously long time to correlate that he made Pretend, one of my new favorite artists though, and this video was a good help to get into what's posted on Spotify. Appreciate it !
i adore alex, especially Kute, and this was a nice way to branch out from Trick and enjoy his other albums. not a fan of Proud but i think it’ll grow on me- i’m just not enjoying the more modern sound of GSTA, his old albums sound so garage band-y and i’m so here for it
i totally understand what you mean about liking his older style. personally, i love how the production and song constructions were able to step up over time, but i’d be lying if i didn’t say his old stuff is classic! such a versatile and dynamic artist who continues to grow with each release. can’t ask for much more than that!
I have been listening to Alex G's music since cavetown recommended it years ago (I really don't listen to cavetown anymore) and Rocket is one of my all time favourite albums. But does anyone know why he doesn't go by "(Sandy)..." anymore? I have asked myself that for some time but can't find anything about that...
U should totally do a video like this on gorillaz (I’ve been listening to them for 8 years and have gone to their concerts before it’s become an obsession)
funny enough, i have never really been able to get into gorillaz too. im definitely not saying never though! maybe one of these days i’ll finally sit down and give it a shot.
Good choices to recommend. I already did my diving into the newest album after I saw him perform last year with alvvays. It was intriguing to hear his music live without knowing any of it.
sorry! i’m personally not crazy about that album, but i also didn’t think it was the best for new listeners. it’s tough to make these videos when an artist has such a thoroughly fantastic discography!
did you know, that axesteel was based on a dream he had about a band called axesteel and the song they was also called axesteel?! the only part of the song he said he remembered was the screaming. thats why the screaming is vivid throughout the song!!!
i have been a frequent watcher for a while now. I’ve been too scared to do this for a while but I wanted to recommend my newest album “it might help a little”. It is a melancholic depressive soundscape i created not too long ago, and i’d be honored if you made a reaction video to it as I respect your music opinions very much!
for me his music feels like you're getting punched in the gut but its a warm comforting hug at the same time lol
so true
too damn accurate
real.
Gotta go into his unreleased stuff.. that’s the real gold
couldn’t agree more! but that’s for the dedicated fans to find lol
I am so obsessed with his music
It’s so good!
How can I show you

damn i am very, very jealous that whole experience sounds incredible. he seems like a pretty cool dude. thanks for sharing!
@@ForeverSpinning yeah, it was pretty sweet, I think someone recorded it and uploaded it on UA-cam, the name of the bar is "El Caradura" (tough face)
i love how you describe his music so vibrantly despite it being so depressive 😭😭😭😭
Hey, someone’s gotta keep it light around here! lol
tf how is he depressing. i mean he has some sad song but i think he just explores all his emotions in his stuff
@@apexlegendsofficialrealif u listened to more songs than mary and sarah you’d see that most of his songs are depressing asf
@@tristanburchard5771 the ones he made as a teen have depressive qualities but a lot of his new stuff seems optimistic and colourful. weird of you to assume ive only listened to those songs you dont know me dawg
All of his albums are worth a full listen. Love his music.

I've been listening to Alex for a while now and this video is an amazing introduction for new fans.. I agree on your favourite tracks.
Thanks! It’s always good to hear positive feedback from existing fans of the artist
Being a big Alex g head myself, these are perfect recommendations!
hell yea! glad i got the seal of approval👊
Proud and powerful man are two of the most beautiful songs i love them so much

I love his music sm I remember listening to him years ago and now I'm obsessed with his music
it’s so easy to become obsessed with his music!
@@ForeverSpinning true, how can i not be obsessed with something so amazing
I went to one of his concerts and literally have become obsessed with all his music, its rlly changed my life for real
I believe it! I saw Alex about 2 months ago for the first time and it was truly great. I would love to see him again soon!
been listening to Alex g for so long, love his music
finally saw him live a few nights ago… such a great show!
i started with race, fell in love in the instant

I’m glad you enjoyed it! I might not mention every Alex G album, but I do think I hit on some good ones for new listeners. Appreciate the love!
I’m just obsessed with him in general
I love alex g

No problem! I hope it helped out

i love alex g rules and dsu best (or winner)
Great video. My favorite albums of his are Beach Music and Race.
race has grown on me so much over time. such a great lp
I love alex sm, god save the animals is my favourite, its very different from his others but s.d.o.s is the best song on there imo!
i this GSTA is my favorite as well. he has such a dense discography… it’s very hard to pick!
@@ForeverSpinningfor sure!
Good choices to recommend. I already did my diving into the newest album after I saw him perform last year with alvvays. It was intriguing to hear his music live without knowing any of it.
i saw that tour too it was great! i wish i could listen to alex g for the first time again lol
I love the God Save the Animals Album. Still working on the rest.
Rules is also a good one (especially the mis song) :V
Mis is his greatest song OAT
alex g
its a travesty that house of sugar wasnt mentioned in this vid
sorry! i’m personally not crazy about that album, but i also didn’t think it was the best for new listeners. it’s tough to make these videos when an artist has such a thoroughly fantastic discography!
his best album by far
That’s totally me when I’m stuck
you do be getting stuck a lot
If my local record store starts wearing respirators, i will consider supporting. Until then, i will not be going out, thanks for the breakdown tho
vry vry fair. i hope you can still support some other small stores online :) glad you enjoyed the video!
@@ForeverSpinning for sure. Have a good one
did you know, that axesteel was based on a dream he had about a band called axesteel and the song they was also called axesteel?! the only part of the song he said he remembered was the screaming. thats why the screaming is vivid throughout the song!!!
holy shit i did not know that!! thanks for the backstory, it makes the song even cooler!
@@ForeverSpinning of course!!! 😆😆

yo, you might wanna check out my newest video for a lil surprise ;)
Nice video man
thanks!
i just went into spotify and played all the albums one by one and then now i’m listening to as many unreleased ones as possible
that is the only sensible thing to do after hearing alex g for the first time. goodspeed on the remainder of your pilgrimage🫡
@@ForeverSpinning i found suuuuper old content just floating around on youtube. how is there so much??
it’s a rabbit hole that never seems to end. our king keeps us all fed!
