Trick and Rules follow on the acclaimed heels of the November 2014 international release of Alex’s fifth album, DSU. In 2011, Giannascoli enrolled at Temple University, where he studied English in hopes to become a teacher, but eventually dropped out to pursue a musical career. Recorded prior to DSU and previously only available via Alex’s Bandcamp account, the albums have now been professionally mastered and are being made commercially available for the very first time. he cares for sarah somewhat but comes to find that he likes sarah more than he thought he would in the infancy of their friendship. However, in mid-2020 he dropped the (Sandy) and reverted back to Alex G after female pop singer Alex G (now Alex Blue) changed her name.

Alex has found millions of new fans from viral TikTok sounds, showing that any obscure track from the early 2010s is only one popular e-boy shout-out away from being appreciated by a new generation.

In 2015, Giannascoli signed with Domino Recording Company and released his debut with the label Beach Music on October 9. 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, remastered and issued on vinyl in 2015 for the first time. this is probably his hookiest, its very good but house of sugar and then after that maybe DSU r his best imo.

Both Trick and Rules continue to showcase a prodigious song-writing talent, reaffirming that Alex G is one of the most promising and prolific American musicians today.

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. Looking at the cover, it feels as if the work is daring you to find meaning, but even upon closer inspection any concrete meaning remains elusive. After self-releasing various albums, EPs, and singles on Bandcamp from 2010 to 2012, Giannascoli's popularity spread through word of mouth, blogs, and reverence by other musicians.

Trick is soaked in the distinctive personality that is Alex G; the professionally mastered versions of these tracks affirming that underneath all the unconventional guitar lines and scrawls of fuzz, Alex has a serious knack for melodic songwriting.
