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]

Reception

Though initially released independently with limited exposure, Rules was later remastered and reissued on vinyl and CD in 2015 by Lucky Number, helping it reach a broader audience. The album has since been regarded by fans and critics as a formative work in Alex G's discography, showcasing his distinct songwriting and experimental sound.[3]
