“Alex Giannascoli reached audiences beyond Bandcamp for the first time last year with DSU, a mostly upbeat collection of bedroom-spun indie rock that showcased a 21-year-old Philadelphian with a knack for songcraft and a tinkerer's curiosity.

“Singer-songwriter Alex G comes through with a detailed but somewhat bland combination of lo-fi and indie rock.”
