Jose Gonzalez - Veneer (Vinyl LP)

Jose Gonzalez's 2003 Album Veneer on LP.

A Swedish-raised troubadour of Argentinean birth, Jose Gonzalez sings mesmerizingly, intimate songs. With his crystal-clear singing voice and vibrant, classically-inspired playing, Gonzalez is a testament to the irrefutable power of one man and a guitar. 2003's Veneer, the tunesmith's acclaimed debut, captures his magical sound in its purest state, simply beautiful and beautifully simple. Touching on a remarkable array of influences, from frank folk to classic pop to a dazzling spectrum of world music, songs such as "Lovestains" and the worldwide hit single, "Heartbeats" display an eloquence and majesty that make plain why the gifted young musician has already become an international sensation. Veneer distinguished González as that true rarity, an artist whose work is both strikingly original and brilliantly timeless.

"A sentimental Swede who plucks like Nick Drake and sings like Art Garfunkle...Some guys just have it." - Vice
