To dismiss José González as just another tired, folk-based, singer-songwriter is to miss the point entirely. Granted, since the beginning of the decade, the resurgence of the ‘quiet is the new loud’ aesthetic has churned out some questionable talent, but, thankfully, González’s schtizz trumps any such description.

jose’s cover of “heartbeats” was so good i thought it was the original (i heard it in that dreamy sony bravia commercial). im glad he’s getting all the attention now.
