Indie-Pop Prodigy Alex G on His Dreamy New Album, ‘Beach Music’

After the new album’s release next month, he’ll be heading out on tour again with the three bandmates who join him in the live incarnation of Alex G. Until relatively recently, they were used to playing DIY spaces and small clubs where Alex could look out into the crowd and see his friends looking back, but that’s in the past now. “The bigger the places are, the less personal it feels,” he says. “Everyone’s just a blur. I don’t want to down-talk our show, but sometimes I can’t believe this many people are excited to see us fuck around with our guitars.” He shrugs. “It feels good, but it also feels a little weird.”
