Jose Gonzalez to release Our Nature this fall, will also tour
Jose Gonzalez‘ Veneer was arguably one of the best albums to come out last year. The Swedish-born singer-songwriter released one of the most powerful debuts in recent years. His sparse, almost brutally bare songs evoke the melancholy sadness of Nick Drake coupled with Elliott Smith’s knack for killer melodies.
The recent announcement of the imminent release of Jose Gonzalez’ sophomore effort Our Nature is definitely great news for his growing legion of fans. What’s even better though is that Gonzalez is going to tour this fall in support of the album’s release. The US tour will begin on September 27, two days after the release of Our Nature. James Blackshaw and Savath & Savalas have been announced as the opening acts in some of the tour dates.
I am looking forward to this tour. Jose Gonzalez is a powerful presence on stage and I am hoping that he’d get to play his cover of Joy Division’s Love Will Tear Us Apart — one of the best covers I’ve heard of that song.

Veneer is one of my favorite albums of all time. I can’t wait for his next disc. “Heartbeats” is in my top five favorite songs, without a doubt.

Veneer occupies that rare category in my collection — the one that straddles both “make-out music” and “music to play when I”m depressed”.
No doubt about it, Jose Gonzalez is awesome. I hope to grow the kind of facial hair he’s been sporting lately, too. It looks so cool.
