José González: Local Valley Ltd Clr

LP Record Unmistakable calm A long six years have passed since the release of José González's last studio album, "Vestiges & Claws". In 2021, the Swedish singer-songwriter and lead singer of the band Junip finally returns from the studio with his new, fourth solo album. Here is "Local Valley". According to González, the thirteen-song album is similar to its predecessors in both sound and spirit. The songs are short, melodic and rhythmic, a mix of classic folk songwriting and influences from Latin America and Africa. He already revealed what it sounds like in the singles "El Invento", in which he sings in Spanish, and "Visions". And they are distinctive: José González's sound is unmistakable in 2021. He remains true to the silence.
