Alex G Drops Two New Songs on Personal YouTube Channel

Yesterday, Alex G uploaded two new songs to his personal YouTube channel. That wouldn’t be a big deal if it hadn’t been six years since he last posted on it, or if he wasn’t signed to a major label. But apparently RCA is cool with his DIY instincts, because “Good Green Friend” and “In the Yard” are still there. You can listen to both below.

“Good Green Friend” was written and recorded during the sessions that spawned last year’s album Headlights, but it was ultimately scrapped from the tracklist. During the New York release show for that LP, Alex G performed the song live and said it was about when he “got super high and had a great time” after a break from smoking weed. “In the Yard,” however, seems to be a loosie, as there’s no information about the track on the YouTube upload or anywhere on his dedicated fan Wiki.

Alex G is currently in the midst of his 2026 tour, which includes a stop at Kilby Block Party and keeps him on the road throughout May. He’s also been busy writing an original score for Teenage Sex and Death at Camp Miasma, the upcoming film by director Jane Schoenbrun, which boasts a song featuring vocals by the Blue Nile’s Paul Buchanan. This is the third time Alex G has scored a Schoenbrun movie, following We’re All Going to the World’s Fair and I Saw the TV Glow.
