New Music: (Sandy) Alex G – “Proud”

Lo-fi, indie pop artist (Sandy) Alex G has released a new track off of his upcoming album Rocket. “Proud” features a variety of strummed guitars accompanied by a warm, boom-chuck drum kit and a simple bass line. Highlights include the sweet, occasional background piano solo, the instrumentation peaking near the end with additional synth-y textures. It comes with a charming lyric video, depicting scenes with friends hanging out in a slightly grungy-looking apartment, and footage of the slushy streets of New York City. Watch it below.

In other news, the artist has changed his name from his previous moniker, Alex G. A press release states: “Going forward, Alex G will be known as (Sandy) Alex G. We are unable to provide further comment at this time, but would appreciate you using the new titling for all future mentions.”

The Philadelphia DIY musician, who found major success through his releases on Bandcamp, is now signed to Domino. His North American tour kicks off on May 18th in Brooklyn. Find those dates below.

Rocket is out May 19th. Watch the lyric video for “Proud” below.
