Bleep

Showing his creativity knows no bounds, indie’s young upstart (Sandy) Alex G returns to Domino with his ninth overall album. In many ways, House of Sugar is classic Alex G: a great smorgasbord of styles and influences with nary a glance at a single genre. But, across folk-adjacent numbers ‘Hope’, the acoustic space rock of ‘Gretel’, and the soft rock dream pop of ‘Near’, there’s a guiding principle and charming wit that shows Alex G’s perfectly capable of shining through any mode that tickles his fancy.
