It featured on his debut album, Veneer, which came out in 2003; this new one, Local V”
“José González provides relief from modern life on Local Valley”
“After six years, the Swedish singer-songwriter returns with another soothing album of sweet indie-folk murmurs. Spare electronic beats bring a new pulse to his sound, but the voice remains the same.”
