Watch (Sandy) Alex G perform a stripped version of “Poison Root” in a creepy puppet house

Though (Sandy) Alex G grew a cult-like following through online presence, it wasn’t of his own doing; it was the fans grassroots approach to his Bandcamp tunes. In reality, it seems that Alex Giannascoli tries to remain pretty absent from the interwebs — whether it be on social media or in his various music videos.

So when I saw that there was a video via Fader (in high definition quality and beautifully filmed, might I add) featuring exclusively him and violinist, Molly Germer, I was a tad surprised at this uncharacteristic move. But then I learned that the one-shot video was filmed at a creepy puppet palace, and all was right with the world once more.

Sadly, there’s no dog barking away in the background, but it’s still just as cool. Watch the stripped, acoustic performance of Rocket‘s opening track below.
