ARTIST: José Gonzalez
ALBUM: In Our Nature (2007) ...

there are few fake genres as near and dear to my heart as sleeping music, so chances are they’ll be popping up a lot here (especially on good long days). turns out i struggle to put my brain to bed most nights. it’s usually a group effort, with jose frequently pulling much of the weight. the common complaint is that his songs all sound the same. i say and how, and keep it coming. i can combine “in our nature” and “veneer” intro a shuffled, looped playlist w/ a 10 second crossfade, and know that a) i will fall asleep within 30 minutes, and b) should i wake up at anytime in the night, i will hear the same soft, hispano-swedish crooning and plucking that put me to sleep the first time. -d
