There’s something strangely endearing about José González’s morose and fatalistic croons on In Our Nature. Maybe it’s his underwhelming vocal range making each song comfortably singable. Maybe it’s how the album sounds simultaneously familiar, yet alien. Or maybe it’s because González sounds as if he truly feels what he’s singing, asking you to share his downtrodden temperament through his soft-spoken moans.
In any case, you can rest assured that José González is a friend; the roommate that will listen to you bitch about how McDonald’s got your order wrong. All he asks in return is reciprocated friendship and a bit of time to listen to his problems. In Our Nature is just such a moment....full text |
