Two years ago, I got a link in my email to an odd little video with bouncy balls pouring down the San Francisco streets. You probably did too. That was my introduction to Jose Gonzalez. Obviously, Veneer made everyone sit up and say "Huh?" and was on permanent rotation in a lot of CD players for the better part of 2006. So the announcement of a new album is cause for celebration.
Party hats should be dusted off come September, because Sr. Gonzalez's new album, In Our Nature, hits streets on the 25th, courtesy of Mute Records. Currently on tour in South America, Gonzalez will be playing the festival circuit this summer before embarking on two U.S. tours in the fall to support the new album.
