Jos Gonzlez –Local Valley
label: Mute Records
release date: Sept 17, 2021

Recorded at Studio Koltrast Hakefjorden, which Gonzlez set up in his familys summer house north of Gothenburg, LOCAL VALLEY is similar to my other solo albums in sound and spirit, he says, a natural continuation of the styles Ive been adding through the years both solo and with Junip. I set out to write songs in the same vein as my old ones: short, melodic and rhythmical, a mixture of classic folk singer songwriting and songs with influences from Latin America and Africa. Its more outward looking than my earlier works, but no less personal. On the contrary, I feel more comfortable than ever saying that this album reflects me and my thoughts right now.

On LOCAL VALLEY which follows the 2015 release of Gonzlezs acclaimed VESTIGES & CLAWS he sings in three languages (English, Spanish and Swedish) and it provides a welcome reminder of the Gothenburg, Sweden-based artists understated appeal and singular ability to communicate discreetly.
