Lo fi no moreeeeee
I kinda just feel like going through Alex G’s discography so I’m gonna. I really like his catchy simplistic sound, and I find myself coming back to a lot of what I’ve heard so far.

Favorites:Mis, New, Rules, Message
Least Favorite:Know Now
First off, I hate people that hate on candy, y’all are INSANE, candy is my standout on this album and it is absolutely beautiful I was genuinely crying the whole thing, and people were looking at me VERY funny in the gym. IN CONCLUSION, Candy is absolutely peak and so is this album

I constantly doubt Mis being my fav song oat till I'm at my lowest and it just fucking kills me. Like I listened to it mid-panic attack or whatever it was and holy fuck. Still post-panic attack holy fuck
