Alex G - the Philadelphia singer, songwriter, and producer Alex Giannascoli - releases his highly anticipated ninth studio album, ‘God Save The Animals’, on Domino.‘God’ figures in the album’s title and multiple of its thirteen tracks, not as a concrete religious entity but as a sign for a generalized sense of faith (in something, anything) that fortifies Giannascoli, or the characters he voices, amid the songs’ often fraught situations.Filtering his experiences through fact and fiction, Giannascoli also opened up the songs through a more practical method: collaboration. ‘God Save The Animals’ features several individual contributions from his bandmates (guitarist Samuel Acchione, drummer Tom Kelly, and bassist John Heywood) or frequent collaborator Molly Germer on strings and / or vocals.
