- Philadelphia musician Alex Giannascoli - better known as Alex G - released his latest album, "God Save The Animals," on September 23, 2022.
Shortly afterwards, Alex G went on tour in support of the album. While in the Twin Cities for a show at First Avenue in Minneapolis, Alex G and his band - guitarist Sam Acchione, drummer Tom Kelly and bassist John Heywood - visited The Current studio for a session hosted by Ayisha Jaffer.
In the interview that followed, Alex G spoke with Ayisha about the making of "God Save The Animals." There’s also talk about Alex G’s work scoring a horror film … and Alex G shares his own rather spooky story.
Watch and listen to the complete session above.

Mission has to be one of my favorite songs of this album it’s so beautifully structured
FActs as fuc
I agree 110%
It’s one of the best on GSTA no doubt
I love how honest this guy is. He answers so simply and is comfortable not having answers to the questions/his process. Genuine spirit.
He's so awkward and honest, I love it.
I really want an interviewer to ask him about being italian. Idk why that would be so funny to me 😭
First of all its heritage and not something to laugh about. He's also half Jewish, I would know.
@@DavidAllenScoli chill man I’m literally half
@@DavidAllenScoli Italian jew. Classic mix. Like in Goodfellas!
@@DavidAllenScolii love ur music
@@ems_lois thank you for your kind words.
Had a dream Alex came into my work at jimmy johns and started performing live shows for me
sounds like a great dream!
@@mayapapaya22 it was the best
that wasn’t a dream it was a premonition
the alex g jimmy johns employee solidarity is felt
Bruh I went into a jimmy johns for lunch and they were playing straight Alex g back to back
I feel like this interviewer did an excellent job of bringing out his insights in a comfortable & personable way. Great fun listening to this set & conversation :~)
This past park ranger is such a warm person!
the live versions hit different
he's so humble
It's pretty cool how that story about his childhood basement lines up with the lyrics of "written in blood"
really though, i wonder if that had anything to do with the lyrics
always so damn good, cool hearing how runner sounds without the scream too
what a solid fucking performance! alex and his band continue to perform beautifully, especially during live recordings. alex has also worked so much on improving his vocals and it shows!! I love his singing, both when he was young and now, but he has become so consistent!! I’m just so incredibly proud and happy that I get to experience their musical progression :,) GSTA is a truly a work of art
alex is so good and so is his team. thank you alex, tom, sam, and john for performing great shows & thank u to everyone else who made this recent tour happen. this album was stellar and i’m glad i got to experience this part of Alex G’s musical evolution :’) great interview, great performance. ❤️🩹🐐
yes!! very well said!!
been sitting inside quarantining with covid and this concert is a real blessing. thanks alex g and the current 🌱
Excellent interview, easily one of the best I’ve seen with Alex
beautiful album!!
love this
God bless this band
I wish he would scream that "Bad Things" part in Runner haha
i was thinking the same thing
Ugh I love the piano on early morning waiting that's the only thing I wish came through more on the track record but he's so good
So good.
fantastic interviewer
great interview
talent does what it can genius does what it must
🔥🔥🔥
so good
I LOVE HIMMM
he’s always been such a humble dude
Jake Portrait is a god tier producer.
He did wonders for Alex’s records. Jake would have to mix with very limited options since Alex did everything on one mic via GarageBand until God Save The Animals.
@@deathchips926I can't believe I never knew about them working together. Been a fan of both for quite some time.
@@bbbbbbb51 Yep jakes been working with him for a minute
please come to houston 😭❤️
Love this so much, but oh man is the drummer ahead of the groove at so many points
It’s cool that she got him to tell that basement story. More interviewers should ask him less expected questions.
YESSS
With the team
MY RUNNER MY RUNNER MY MAAAANNN
What a guy!
great interviewer
Love u man

This performance of emw is so good

Is it bothering any other drummers out there in RUclips comments land that homies bottom hat is bigger than the top hat?!? 🤔
4:59 the video drops out
Why did they put Tom in time out in the corner
A young Bill Hader on the bass.

@@mayapapaya22 yeah SDOS is not happening lmao
@@apostle7542 i know :')
Realllly solid, except for the gratuitous volume and bends on lead guitar. Hate to say it but Sam is doin too much.

Guitar is perfect for me. Love it.
