José González speaks with Larry Mizell Jr. about how his two children influenced him to inject more playfulness and creativity into his tunes, as well as write songs in his mother tongue of Spanish for the first time.
For over 18 years, José González has been a master at constructing soft, contemplative guitar tunes. While, sonically, his latest album Local Valley sounds much like his prior work, KEXP’s Larry Mizell Jr. chats with the Swedish/Argentinian musician about how his two children influenced him to inject more playfulness and creativity into his tunes, as well as write songs in his mother tongue of Spanish for the first time.
