“an artist who’s basically a genre unto himself” Pitchfork, Best New Music
“unassumingly brilliant folk-rock” – Rolling Stone 4*
“He has an ear for the perfect chord change and knows how to tweak a melody for maximum heartbreak” – Wall Street Journal
“Incredible songs spill out of him, typically at the intersection of gorgeous and ever-so-slightly unnerving, and Headlights boasts plenty” – Stereogum
[Friday, July 18th, 2025] Today, Alex G releases his tenth studio album Headlights via RCA Records, marking his major label debut. Along with the release comes a visualizer for ‘Oranges.’

Headlights is the latest record from Alex G, the singer-songwriter whose surreal storytelling has been converting casual listeners into obsessives for more than a decade. A highly anticipated release, the album was preceded by the critically lauded singles ‘Afterlife’ and ‘June Guitar,’ both of which set the tone for what’s to become one of his most celebrated works with early reviews deeming Headlights “A major label debut worthy of the all-time indie graduations,” (Pitchfork) “brilliant folk-rock,” (Rolling Stone) “another record for fans to leave on repeat” (Clash).
On this new project, Alex G revisits the reality-bending terrain that has made him both a beloved artist and an unassuming cultural figure and cements himself as one of the greats with the songwriting giants he’s often compared to—Neil Young, Elliott Smith, Lucinda Williams. That heritage is audible throughout the record, a gorgeous collection of absurd twists and mundane milestones that reflect not only his singular songwriting voice but the quiet influence he’s had on a generation of indie musicians. This record is the perfect reminder that the best way to understand his impact is by listening to the songs.
Next week, Alex will perform lead single “Afterlife” on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert on 24th July followed by a set at the iconic Newport Folk Festival on 25th July before kicking off his tour in September.
