Alex G Preps Major Label Debut Album ‘Headlights,’ Shares ‘Afterlife’ Single

Alex G will release his 10th studio album and major label debut, Headlights, on July 18 via RCA Records. The singer-songwriter unveiled the LP’s folksy lead single, “Afterlife,” along with a video for the track directed by Charlotte Rutherford.

Headlights was recorded with co-producer and longtime collaborator Jacob Portrait at various locations in Philadelphia and New York. The 12-track set follows Alex’s 2022 LP, God Save The Animals, and his 2024 score for the film I Saw The TV Glow.

“A gorgeous collection of surreal storytelling over 12 new songs, Headlights sees Giannascoli delve further into the reality-bending terrain that has made him one of the twenty-first century’s most celebrated and influential musical architects,” as per promotional materials heralding the album’s release.

Alex G sings smoothly over a mandolin-driven progression on the catchy “Afterlife.” Swirls of synth and buoyant backing vocals help propel the song.
