erthan Posted August 13, 2015 Share Posted August 13, 2015 Just got a notification from Bandcamp: Alex G - Beach Music Over the course of six self-recorded and mostly self-released LPs, Alex G has built a body of work unassuming in its presentation but astounding in its depth. Beach Music, his seventh full-length and his debut with Domino, was written and recorded in Giannascoli’s apartment between the Fall of 2014 and the Spring of 2015, during breaks from touring with the likes of Elvis Depressedly, Cymbals Eat Guitars, and Gardens & Villa. While its predecessors often came in uninterrupted bursts—from his head to the internet in a matter of hours and days—Beach Music was shaped in part by Giannascoli adapting to life as a touring musician. Songs were written within months of one another rather than all at once, with influences ranging from noise music to piano-based laments to Southern rock to the rhythmic focus of techno—whatever he happened to be most interested in at the time. The result is Giannascoli’s most cohesive and beautiful work to date; a stand-out addition to a catalog whose rewards continue to evolve and multiply with every listen. On opaque blue 2xLP /1000 (LP + 'Alex G Live at The Headroom bootleg 12"') and blue cassette /300 (bandcamp exclusive) Out October 2015 Bandcamp LP/CD also available on Domino US and Domino UK and iTunes nickelnine59 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
copelandkid Posted August 13, 2015 Share Posted August 13, 2015 Domino's releasing this one, and I suppose Lucky Number might announce a separate UK variant, though Domino does have a UK operation already.The 2xLP is due to the label releasing a live set of his as well" "Alex G Live at The Headroom bootleg 12” Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mathyou99 Posted August 13, 2015 Share Posted August 13, 2015 I've been pretty good about holding off on buying vinyl while waiting for a few select pre-orders, this was the straw that broke the camel's back. DSU really grew on me and the new single sounds great! I can't complain about the bootleg 12 included for 25. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dkrtz Posted August 13, 2015 Share Posted August 13, 2015 Track 5. I'm so excited for this. Yesss!! I wonder if it will be full electric with circular distortion a la After Ur Gone or Axesteel. Salt was always the hardest hitting alex g song for me for some reason so the prospect of hearing it reimagined is so exciting Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dkrtz Posted August 13, 2015 Share Posted August 13, 2015 Went ahead and preordered both since they may actually sell out before too long.. $40 shipped for two 12" lps and a cassette from alex g; can't pass that up man. Especially whenever annoying resellers push the going rate for any of his tapes up to $40 a pop on the aftermarket Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can see them lasting the month at least Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
