This kid (they’re literally 17) supported my gig last night and they’re so talented. They self-produced and released this record last year and it’s brilliant. For fans of Elliot Smith and Alex G.

Okay, I just HAVE TO share my thoughts on the new Alex G album… The summer before 8th grade, an internet friend of mine (we met through the fan page I ran for The Garden😭) posted about how much she loved Alex and specifically his song Sandy. I went to Alex’s Bandcamp and started with the first track listed, Joy. I instantly fell in love and listened to his entire discography at the time. I had never heard music like that before, which opened up an entirely new musical world for me. I have an obsessive personality, so as a teen I was biggg fan girl, almost unhealthy… I wanted to know everything about him, gather all the lore, read every interview, and watch every video posted on YouTube (which I successfully did until he gained more recognition). This was before he released Rocket. I joined an Alex discord server and met some of the most important people in my life at the time. No better feeling than bonding with other high schoolers across the country over our love for music! We met each other irl and traveled at least once a year to visit each other. I started a record label with them and met my bff at the time, who I also dated for 5 years. Even though we are not a part of each other's lives anymore, I am forever grateful for those experiences. As a depressed teenager, I really needed them and Alex’s music. I’ve met him about 6 or 7 times and seen him live at least 10 times. I’m proud of his success, totally different vibe than when I discovered him. I understand why people like the music so much! It's the same reasons that appealed to me. Although it will never be the same, I will be a fan until the end of time. My favorite musician of all time, no one compares!!! I feel so happy today :) My top tracks from Headlights: Bounce Boy, Far and Wide, Louisiana, and Spinning, but I love them all!!! I will be listening to this album on repeat. Music Is Awesome And Brings People Together 🥲

Been enjoying this guy's music a lot recently. His song Seasons recently blew up on TikTok and kinda gave him his big break. I had the honor of meeting him when I helped my friends produce a show for him and got to photograph him at said show (see pic below). He walked in and was so sweet to everyone helping out. It was so refreshing seeing someone so authentic in the music scene, given that his opener was lowk a douchebag... that's a story for later. ANYWAYS really recommend listening to his songs if you're into Imogen Heap, Blood Orange, or kinda electronic sound. Some of my favs are Seasons, Pretend Friend, and Say what you mean.

🎸It’s a perfect indie pop record with a little bit of country twang, i’ve probably listened to it over 50 times in the last two months and it has not gotten old
