He’s delivered two albums with the band Junip, his more fulsome, electronic-edged, pop project and has toured with both the Berlin/Göteborg String Theory orchestra (in 2011), co-performing 11 reworking’s of his songs, Sidi Touré and played with Malian desert blues troupe Tinariwen (both in 2012). In 2013, Hollywood came calling when Ben Stiller commissioned José to work with Theodore Shapiro on the soundtrack to his remake of ‘The Secret Life of Walter Mitty’ and most recently, he’s contributed his version of ‘This is How We Walk On the Moon’ to the Red Hot charity compilation honouring Arthur Russell. Community and collaboration are obviously satisfying in their own ways, but now José is again stepping centre stage solo, with Vestiges & Claws. Conceived as the natural third part in an acoustic trilogy, Vestiges & Claws is a(nother) hushed and delicate solo set that forefronts the artist and guitarist’s compellingly intimate vocal style and intricate playing technique, but it’s often strikingly rhythmic in nature and cohere’s perfectly, with hand claps and taps on the body of his instrument underlining the songs’ mantric rise-and-fall pattern, while elsewhere, over-dubbed guitar parts and multi-tracked vocal harmonies entwine to sweetly immersive effect. The title refers to both cultural practices and biological features that survive despite having lost their original function, and to currently useful tools, ie the “claws” of modern life. Vestiges & Claws was recorded almost entirely by José and self-produced, mostly in his Gothenburg home, using computer plug-ins to achieve a warm, analogue sound. He prefers working alone, mainly for artistic reasons. “There were a couple of things that enabled me to complete this record: one was curiosity, to be able to play percussion and do a lot of harmonies and also to produce and mix the album; the other was aesthetics. I love to listen to Arthur Russell and Shuggie Otis, to music that has been done mostly by one person in their solitary state.” As José sees it, the record is his personal, “zoomed-out eye on humanity on a small, pale blue dot in a cold, sparse and unfriendly space. The amazing fact that we are all here, an attempt at encouraging us to understand ourselves and to make the best of the one life we know we have – after birth and before death.” Artist José González Genre Rock And Pop Label Peacefrog Buying Options 1LP Format 1LP Condition New Country United Kingdom Track Listings 1: With The Ink Of A Ghost 2: Let It Carry You 3: Stories We Build, Stories We Tell 4: The Forest 5: Leaf Off / The Cave 6: Every Age 7: What Will 8: Vissel 9: Afterglow 10: Open Book Share this On Facebook On Twitter Via Email More from José González View Product Quick View José González Veneer – 20th Anniversary Deluxe Edition Rock And Pop | Peacefrog Records | 2LP, Coloured Vinyl, Gatefold Sleeve Released 27th October 2023 £35.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders José González Veneer – 20th Anniversary Deluxe Edition £35.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Peacefrog Records SKU: PFGXX066 Formats: 2LP, Coloured Vinyl, Gatefold Sleeve Released Date: 27th October 2023 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View José González Vestiges & Claws Rock And Pop | Peacefrog Records | 1LP, Coloured Vinyl Released 5th November 2021 £22.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders José González Vestiges & Claws £22.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Peacefrog Records SKU: PFG172DP Formats: 1LP, Coloured Vinyl Released Date: 5th November 2021 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View José González In Our Nature Rock And Pop | Peacefrog | 1LP, Coloured Vinyl Released 5th November 2021 £21.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders José González In Our Nature £21.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Peacefrog SKU: PFG114DP Formats: 1LP, Coloured Vinyl Released Date: 5th November 2021 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View José González Veneer Rock And Pop | Peacefrog | 1LP, Coloured Vinyl Released 5th November 2021 £21.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders José González Veneer £21.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Peacefrog SKU: PFG066DP Formats: 1LP, Coloured Vinyl Released Date: 5th November 2021 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View José González Local Valley Rock And Pop | City Slang | 1LP, Coloured Vinyl, Gatefold Sleeve, Includes Download Code Released 17th September 2021 £22.00 Select options José González Local Valley £22.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: City Slang Formats: 1LP, Coloured Vinyl, Gatefold Sleeve, Includes Download Code Released Date: 17th September 2021 Read More Select options See more from José González Start again More from Rock And Pop View Product Quick View Hard Working Americans Hard Working Americans Americana / Country | Melvin Records | 1LP Released 17th February 2014 £17.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Hard Working Americans Hard Working Americans £17.00 Genre: Americana / Country Label: Melvin Records SKU: MR223471 Formats: 1LP Released Date: 17th February 2014 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Jad Fair & Danielson Solid Gold Heart Rock And Pop | Sounds Familyre | 1LP Released 23rd June 2014 £17.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Jad Fair & Danielson Solid Gold Heart £17.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Sounds Familyre SKU: SF47LP Formats: 1LP Released Date: 23rd June 2014 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders On Sale View Product Quick View La Roux Supervision Rock And Pop | Supercolour Records | 1LP, Coloured Vinyl, Gatefold Sleeve Released 7th February 2020 £9.99 -
