“The new name to drop in alt-rock circles” The Guardian
Lucky Number is thrilled to present the video for ‘Hollow’, the first full single to be lifted from the forthcoming new album DSU from Alex G (due 10 November). Though only 21 years of age, and still a student at Philadelphia’s Temple University, DSU is Alex G’s fifth album. All recorded at home, almost exclusively solo, and, until recently, all self-released and available only via Bandcamp.
Directed by John Vizzone, a fellow Philadelphian, the video’s crafted visuals match the song’s moody and pensive atmospherics, finding the eponymous singer shrouded in darkness, except for the glow of a flickering TV screen. Putting a face to the name in Giannascoli’s case belies his youth and, in effect, the wise-beyond-his-years nature and lyricism that makes his songwriting so captivating.
With vibrant, yet distorted, atmospherics and echoing vocals that emphasize the despair in the lyrics; ‘Hollow’ highlights just how powerful young Giannascoli’s songwriting already is. It doesn’t take long before you find yourself singing along to the track’s anthemic chorus; “don’t take a trip, don’t let me down, I know, I’m hollow”.
Alex G plays his first UK shows this November.
He will begin with an in-store at Rough Trade East on Monday 17 November, followed by opening for Ought at Sound Control in Manchester on Tuesday 18 November and then his own headline show at the Sebright Arms in London on Wednesday 19 November.
DSU is due, on all formats, on 10 November. Pre-order here:
