(Sandy) Alex G House of Sugar [Purple] *

4 stars out of 5 -- "The prolific, inventive Philadelphia musician assumes various characters on his ninth LP, though in parts he's also invigorated with a new lyrical directness..."
Paste (magazine) - "[T]he newest record from Alex Giannascoli at times improves on the inscrutable, circuitous experimentation of his Domino debut, BEACH MUSIC."
Pitchfork (Website) - "The enigmatic songwriter's latest album is full of vignettes that shift to reveal and conceal themselves in ways too unpredictable to be easily faked. It might be his best yet."
Clash (Magazine) - "A thirteen-track sprawl of pitch-shifted caricatured vocals, shattering industrial outbursts and alt-country inflections; it's also arguably, the most surreal and refined example of his talents yet."
