    José González, “Killing for Love” from “In Our Nature” (2007)

    “What's the point if you hate, die, and kill for love?
    What's the point with a love makes you hate and kill for?”

    I first became aware of #JoséGonzález when his vocals were featured prominently on #Zero7's 2006 album “The Garden.” There was something about his voice, a certain clarity of tone that appealed to me. When I heard his voice in the more purely #acoustic setting of In Our Nature, his second full-length release under his own name, it stood out even more, adding texture to and elevating the simple instrumentation. There's something metallic about his voice, in a good, hard/shiny way. Is it that his vocals sound almost always double tracked?

    But back to our theme...to me, the lyrics cited above speak of an ironic duality, driven home with José’s droning guitar and pure but biting vocal.

  3. Tonight: Jose Gonzalez at Brooklyn Steel was magic as to be expected. Just a guy with a guitar in a big warehouse like that and there wasn't a moment I wasn't rapt. 90 minutes just flew by, totally mesmerizing.

    Ma façon de travailler, c’est de m’asseoir et d’écrire avec des accords complexes ou des arpèges étonnants, et à partir de cette démo, la chanson finale peut prendre des années. Donc oui, je suis un créateur lent.

    Je pense que le fait de jouer de la guitare sèche permet aussi de rester calme. Il y a une part de méditation là-dedans.

  11. New single for the new José Gonzalez album is a powerful statement, a manifesto on how we should proceed forward.

    "Embrace who we could be
    The future you
    The future me
    Disconnect from every algorithm
    Every perverse incentive
    That drags you down
    Let's rebel against the replicators
    Against the dying of the light
    Kill the codes that feed the hate
    Keep the codes that make you thrive
    Celebrate the fucking fact that we're alive"
