Alexander Giannascoli better known by his stage name Alex G, is a multi-instrumentalist from Philadelphia who started his career as a bedroom singer/songwriter, building up an audience through a series of DIY releases on Bandcamp. Following the critical acclaim of Giannascoli's sixth album DSU featured as a Best Album of 2014 by Noisey, Consequence of Sound, The Washington Post, Vogue, CMJ, and Time Out UK label Lucky Number Music stepped in to physically re-issue Alex's earlier releases Trick and Rules.
