Jose´\; Gonza´\;lez is in a class by himself. Hailed by \;Rolling Stone \;as &ldquo\;someone whose subtle\, carefully crafted music delivers rewards to listeners who know how to wait\,&rdquo\; Gonza´\;lez&rsquo\;s stellar career can only be described as a dream. From selling out tours on virtually every continent to headlining prestigious festivals around the world to being asked to perform at 2020&rsquo\;s Nobel Prize Award Ceremony and seeing his recorded music exceed one billion streams\, Gonza´\;lez is one of the most exciting and in-demand touring artists working today.
\n\nWhether appearing alone with his guitar\, or with a 20-piece orchestra\, or with his band The Brite Lites\, or choosing between duo and trio formats\, his performances are never merely shows&mdash\;they are events. And Gonza´\;lez has every intention of continuing this tradition as he prepares his fully solo tour in support of the eagerly awaited release of his fourth studio album\, \;Local Valley. The visionary singer-songwriter/guitarist&rsquo\;s long-awaited album\, and first to contain songs in all of the languages he speaks (English\, Spanish\, and Swedish)\, \;Local Valley \;provides a welcome reminder of the Gothenburg\, Sweden-based artist&rsquo\;s understated appeal and unabashed intimacy\, a quality \;Billboard \;praised as &ldquo\;one of the most recognizable sounds in indie rock.&rdquo\; The album finds Gonza´\;lez once again armed with just a handful of nylon-stringed Spanish guitars\, yet this time\, technology did creep into the proceedings. &ldquo\;I allowed myself to loop guitars as I aim to do live with pedals\,&rdquo\; Gonza´\;lez says\, &ldquo\;and in my head I was hearing how each track would fit with an orchestra (The String Theory) or my five-piece band (The Brite Lites)\, with whom I&rsquo\;ve been touring on and off the last decade.&rdquo\; Four albums in\, \;Local Valley \;finds José\; Gonza´\;lez\, in the words of his new song\, &ldquo\;Visions\,&rdquo\; still &ldquo\;imagining the worlds that could be/Shaping a mosaic of fates/For all sentient beings.&rdquo\; With \;Local Valley\, José\; Gonza´\;lez once again proves that music doesn&rsquo\;t need to be loud to be heard.
