Reviews
Spin (p.137) - "[H]e exhales snatches of rainy-day poetry and finger-picks his guitar like he's backing a suicidal flamenco dancer." - Grade: A- Entertainment Weekly (No. 838, pp.141-142) - "...Gonzalez is a gifted Swedish singer-songwriter...whose deft, syncopated fingerpicking and hushed vocals are hypnotic..." - Grade: B plus Magnet (p.100) - "González's deceptively complex guitar playing and brooding lyrics are the focus of his debut." CMJ (No. 934, p.4) - "...[R]eflects a Scandinavian minimalism, a Celtic mysticism and a Latin romanticism..." Mojo (Publisher) (p.78) - "[T]here's a classical element to his guitar playing that seems to deposit him into a world entirely of his own."
Additional information
The Swedish-born singer and guitarist Jose Gonzalez performs subtly beautiful acoustic folk-pop with an impeccable musical technique and vocals that recall the 1960s duo Simon & Garfunkel. Songs like "Heartbeats," "Crosses," and "Deadweight on Velveteen" are quietly seductive and utterly beguiling.
