Giannascoli was on our list of Ones To Watch in late 2014 as we looked ahead to the coming year.

Speaking about the new release in a press statement, Giannascoli said: "every song is coming from a different place. It branches off in all these directions, but it has its own sound. It's not something I do intentionally, but I'm the common thread."

Beach Music is out 9 October. It's his seventh record since 2010, and follows last year's DSU, which was released by Lucky Number to significant acclaim. Pre-orders via Bandcamp come with a limited edition cassette version of the album, with vinyl pre-orders coming with an exclusive bootleg LP called Alex G Live At The Headroom. As usual, the album was written and recorded in Giannascoli's apartment over the course of a few months.
