Rocket (Vinyl)

'Rocket' is the Philadelphia-based artist Alex G's eighth full-length release — an assured statement that follows a slate of humble masterpieces, many of them self-recorded and self-released, stretching from 2010's 'RACE' to his 2015 Domino debut, 'Beach Music.'

'Rocket's sessions began shortly after 'Beach Music's ended, with Alex tracking songs at home, by himself and with friends, in the gaps between a hectic 2015 and 2016 touring schedule.

Both albums were mixed by Jacob Portrait (Unknown Mortal Orchestra, Bass Drum of Death), who lent them a fine-tuning that retains the homespun personality of earlier efforts.

Amid the process, in the fall of 2016, Alex made headlines for reasons outside his own releases. He had caught the attention of Frank Ocean, who asked him to play guitar on his two 2016 albums, 'Endless' and 'Blonde.'
