House Of Sugar [Purple Vinyl] (LP)

Amoeba Review

Alex G’s House of Sugar is (pun intended) a real treat for fans of smart, cohesive, dreamy indie albums. “Hope” is a luminous, swooning jangle pop number that’s beautiful and bittersweet. “Southern Sky” is a gentle duet with a melancholy Elliott Smith vibe. ”Gretel” opens with a haunting, powerful intro and the emotional impact doesn’t let up over the course of the song. To get the full experience, this is an album that must be listened to in full — but what a delight it is to get lost in the world Alex G has created, again and again. Guaranteed to make you hit “repeat.”
