DSU is the fifth studio album by American musician Alex G, released on June 17, 2014, through Orchid Tapes.
The title of the album is an acronym of Dream State University. It is derived from a comment Giannascoli's older sister, Rachel, had made. He explained: "I was asking my sister what I should name the album and she gave me a bunch of names. One of them was 'Dream State', because I gave her all these songs to listen to and she said that they had a dreamy vibe. I thought that was too cheesy, but I was joking around with the name 'Dream State University' as a play on the whole State University thing that we have in America, and then we were both like 'Oh! That's pretty funny, why don't we do that?' And then I kinda bailed out at the last minute. I just thought it was such a lame fucking name, but I couldn't change it at that point. My sister had already written DSU on the album cover and she was about to put Dream State University at the bottom but I was like 'No! I hate that name, don't do it!' So in the end we just stuck with DSU and it worked out."
