Over the course of his young but substantial career, songwriter Alex Giannascoli has managed to tap into a variety of styles while maintaining his signature solemn, driving sound. In <em>Rocket<\/em>, Giannascoli explores even further. Tracks like \u201cBobby\u201d and \u201cPowerful Man\u201d take on a folky edge with crying fiddle lines and nostalgic melodies, while \u201cSportstar\u201d is a dreamy electronic daze. No matter the track (or the album for that matter), there is always the constant of Giannascoli\u2019s raw honesty and vocals showcased in their fullest glory.<\/p>\n<p>(Sandy) Alex G will stop at the Sinclair on July 5 to tour <em>Rocket<\/em>, and will be supported by Japanese Breakfast and Cende. Doors for the sold out show are at 7 p.m.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Once the king of Bandcamp releases and bedroom indie, (Sandy) Alex G (formerly just Alex G) is now onto his fifth official album, Rocket, which was released this past May.
