José González has delivered a new album, 'Against the Dying of the Light', a companion and further meditation on the themes of his critically acclaimed album, 'Local Valley'. Where 'Local Valley' turned inward toward place, language, and personal reflection, this new record widens its gaze, becoming an urgent call to preserve the light of humanity with all its flaws, at a moment when technology increasingly shapes how we think, feel, and relate to one another.

José González is one of the most quietly influential artists of our generation. The Swedish-Argentine artist has built a singular musical world from hypnotic, minimal guitar work and his unmistakably gentle voice - a sound that has become deeply personal to millions of listeners worldwide. With billions of streams across platforms and hundreds of thousands of physical records sold, González’s songs often act as emotional landmarks. Ask almost anyone, and they can name at least one of his tracks tied to a defining moment in their lives.
