In the artist's words:

If you like acoustic guitars, calm tones and big emotions, then José González is your soundtrack for the next sunset. The Swedish-Argentine singer-songwriter manages to create entire worlds with just a few chords and his gentle voice. Songs like Heartbeats (yes, that was originally by The Knife!), Crosses or Stay Alive are timeless companions - quiet, but full of power. Musically somewhere between Nick Drake, Iron & Wine and Sufjan Stevens, González has also left his mark on the indie folk world with his band Junip. He is an experience live: minimalist, intimate and yet magical - whether in large halls, at the Haldern Pop Festival or in the Elbphilharmonie. His music is not a spectacle, but an invitation to pause for a moment. Perfect for all those who find the greatest in silence.
