Our Take

Jose Gonzalez's latest album, "Local Valley," is like a warm hug from your hipster grandma - comforting, familiar, and a little bit offbeat.

The Swedish-Argentinian singer-songwriter stays true to his signature style of stripped-back, acoustic folk, but injects a sense of playfulness and experimentation into his music this time around. Tracks like "Visions" and "Head On" showcase Gonzalez's delicate fingerpicking skills, while also adding subtle electronic elements that give the album a modern twist.

"Swing" is a standout track, with its infectious rhythm and catchy chorus that will have you tapping your foot and humming along for days. Gonzalez's soothing vocals provide the perfect balance to the slightly off-kilter instrumentation, creating a unique and captivating listening experience.

Overall, "Local Valley" is a delightful blend of the familiar and the unexpected, making it a must-listen for fans of Gonzalez's previous work, as well as newcomers looking for a fresh take on indie folk music. So grab your favourite mug of herbal tea, sink into your comfiest armchair, and let Jose Gonzalez's "Local Valley" transport you to a world of soothing melodies and quirky charm. Cheers!
