'You get lured in and then you eat all the candy until it kills you.”
, out from Domino Records, I meet Alex Giannascoli—the singer, songwriter, and multi-instrumentalist who releases music under the monkier Alex G—a literal house of sugar, lined with swirly lollipop towers, chocolate cigarettes, and every flavor of Jelly Belly a sugar addict could conjure in a focus group.
the store is a dream come true, with mountains of Pez dispensers and Nerds Ropes and baskets of now-banned child-targeted consumer products that somehow get a pass here. But despite the sign hanging from the ceiling that says “Like A Kid in A Candy Store,” Giannascoli is a bit dazed amidst the saccharine fantasia, his gaze lingering on some bygone baseball cards. The stimulation is a bit much.
While he shrugs off any spiritual significance of the parenthetical in his moniker, names are vital to Giannascoli’s project, which features grounding songs with meandering verses and cracked-voice confessions in the imagined memory of lives passed by. His discography is traced with the fuzzy outlines of neighbors, friends, past lovers, split selves: Adam, Bobby, Sandy . There’s, the wolfish girl Alex “wants to kiss,” with “big red eyes and big red lips,” and “big sharp teeth and big fat hips.
But I guess if I have to narrow it down, that probably sums it up,” he tells me. “You’re indulging, and then the thing you’re indulging in preys on you. You get lured in and then you eat all the candy until it kills you.” He stops and looks a couple feet past my left shoulder. “It’s like you’ve got to gobble it all up as soon as you get the chance, because you might not get the chance again.”.
