Headlights is the latest record from Alex Giannascoli, better known as Alex G, the singer- songwriter whose surreal storytelling has been converting casual listeners into obsessives for more than a decade and a half. On these twelve new songs, Alex G revisits the reality-bending terrain that has made him both a beloved artist and an unassuming cultural figure.Like the songwriting giants Alex is sometimes cited as being in conversation with - Neil Young, Elliott Smith, Lucinda Williams - Alex’s take on Americana is at turns direct and impressionistic, suffused with mystery and melancholy. That heritage is audible all over Headlights, a gorgeous collection of absurd twists and mundane milestones narrated by one of the twenty-first century’s most celebrated and influential rock & roll architects.It doesn’t feel hyperbolic to recognize that his creative eccentricity has helped steer the trajectory of post-2010s indie and alternative music, and Headlights is a good reminder that the best way to understand his impact is by listening to his songs. The result is his tenth full-length album, a meaningful milepost on the winding and remarkable path that Alex has been forging.
