Rules is the third studio album by American musician Alex G (real name Alexander Giannascoli). It was self-released via Bandcamp on January 15, 2012. Recorded and produced entirely by Giannascoli, the album continues his early lo-fi, home-recorded aesthetic. The album cover was painted by Alex's mom. [3]
