Trick is the fourth studio album by American musician Alex G. It was originally self-released through Giannascoli's Bandcamp page on November 6, 2012, and later reissued in a professionally mastered version via Lucky Number on April 6, 2015.
Along with Giannascoli's previous release, Rules (2012), Trick quickly made him gain popularity between Philadelphian independent artists, and has become one of his most successful and representative albums. Contemporary critics generally appreciated it for its dark and emotionally-touching themes of intimacy, nostalgia, and hope, surrounded by an eccentric aesthetic. The album was given further acclaim after its reissue in 2015, following DSU's success, and then in 2022, thanks to some songs such as "Mary" and "Sarah", which became viral on TikTok and Spotify.
On March 18, 2022, a reissue of Trick was released via Lucky Number as a bundle along with single "Sarah", containing the three bonus tracks added in the 2015 remastered edition of the album.
