Local Valley

Local Valley, José González's long awaited fourth album, serves as a relieving reminder that you don't have to be loud to be heard.

Local Valley provides a welcome reminder of the Gothenburg, Sweden-based artist's understated appeal and singular ability to communicate discreetly. These 13 thought-provoking, meticulously crafted songs sound as characteristically confident and rich in compelling detail as anything in his prior canon.

Recorded at Studio Koltrast Hakefjorden, which José set up in his family's summer house north of Gothenburg, Local Valley "is a natural continuation of the styles I've been adding through the years both solo and with Junip" says José.
