About

Trick is the fourth studio album by American musician Alex G. It was originally self-released through Giannascoli's Bandcamp page on November 6, 2012, and later reissued in a professionally mastered version along with three bonus tracks 14-16, via Lucky Number on April 6, 2015. Along with Giannascoli's previous release, Rules (2012), Trick quickly made him gain popularity between Philadelphian independent artists, and has become one of his most successful and representative albums. Contemporary critics generally appreciated it for its dark and emotionally-touching themes of intimacy, nostalgia, and hope, surrounded by an eccentric aesthetic. The album was given further acclaim after its reissue in 2015, following DSU's success, and then in 2022, thanks to some songs such as "Mary" and "Sarah", which became viral on TikTok and Spotify.
