Trick, an early album from the prodigious Philadelphian singer-songwriter Alex G, is now back. Alex’s fourth album was originally self-released digitally on his Bandcamp, but received the physical attention it deserved following the release of his breakthrough fifth album DSU.

With three more original albums released since, Alex’s cult-like fanbase, which includes the likes of Frank Ocean, only ever increases, and Trick remains a firm favourites as more fans discover his prolific back catalogue. Songs like “Sarah”, “Advice” and “Change” are soaked in the distinctive personality of Alex G, displaying a serious knack for melodic songwriting underneath unconventional guitar lines and scrawls of fuzz. These early records only reaffirm that Alex G is one of the most distinctive American musicians today.
