SEALED READY TO SHIP  House Of Sugar (Ruby Red Colored Vinyl) Vinyl LP - Turntable Lab Exclusive

Lab exclusivo! Edition of 1000 copies on ruby red vinyl with printed inner and download code. A Lab favorite, Alex Giannascoli's 3rd album for Domino was arguably the strongest showing from the Philadelphia artist when it was released in 2019. Bested perhaps only by its successor , House Of Sugar remains Alex's sweetest and most sonically diverse achievement, still. Original Lab review:

FROM PITCH-SHIFTED, SELF-RELEASED EARLY ODDITIES and acoustic warbles to the indie-Americana of  and the wildly oscillating stylings of  and , ( does not operate within any certain sonic boundary. On the latest full-length (8th overall) from the Philly native, his idiosyncratic tastes once again produce a frantic, experimental collage of songs. The most polished to date, the project's comfort zones are contrasted with dizzyingly layered vignettes, and Alex G also takes a more autobiographical to songwriting: "He was a good friend of mine, he died / why write about it now? / Gotta honor him somehow / Yeah, saw some people crying that night / yeah, fentanyl took a few lives from our life, all right," he sings on "Hope." Despite the eclectic sound palette, House Of Sugar, after a few listens, has cohesive qualities, perhaps the artist's highly meticulous detention to detail and intuitive method of creating being the link that brings everything together. Standout tracks include "In My Arms," "Gretel," "Sugar," "Crime" and "Taking."
