Alex G appeared on his new album God Save the Animals with performances of “Runner,” “Miracles,” and “Early Morning Waiting” on this weekend’s episode of CBS Saturday morning. See below.
Alex G always has an otherworldly quality to his releases, so it was great to see him and his band perform a live set in the CBS studio. For example, the singer’s voice is not modulated in the “I’ve done two bad things” stopping a “Runner” – instead, he withdraws his simple delivery with a more serious scream between in verses. Meanwhile, “Miracles” maintains Alex G’s love for the violin, and “Early Morning Waiting” sees the artist move from acoustic guitar to keyboard.
The prolific singer-songwriter has been touring the studio sessions quite a bit lately. In December, he performed a NPR’s Tiny Desk Concertand early last year, he sang “Runner” on Fallon and “Miracles” on Colbert. Meanwhile, during a SiriusXM appearance, he took a stab at Michelle Branch’s song “Everything You Want.”
