Jose Gonzalez Adds November/December Tour Dates and National TV Appearances

Press release
Source: Big Hassle

Following an intimate appearance at Spiegeltent in late August, Jose González celebrates the release the September 25th release of his latest effort, In Our Nature, by kicking off the first string of dates in his US Tour with 3 nights in New York. Newly updated dates through December may be found below. González is also slated to make national television appearances on Late Night With Conan O'Brien (September, 28th), and Jimmy Kimmel Live (October, 11th).

Early reviews of In Our Nature are starting to come in.

"The opening ' How Low,' 'Killing for Love' and the title track pulse with his fierce, spellbinding brand, and more patient turns such as 'Teardrops' and 'Fold' offer a welcome vulnerability."
-American Songwriter

"His style of guitar playing is more percussive, so it's not the dexterity of his performance that draws you in. It's the mood: introspective, window-gazing, and slightly impressionistic."
-Filter

"Top 40 Albums To Own This Year"
-New York Post

"Hushed but intense acoustic-guitar songs that sound as if they're coming from inside your own head."
-New York

After four years of constant touring - including a breathtaking performance at the 2007 Coachella Music Festival - José González returns with his second album In Our Nature released September 25, 2007

In Our Nature sees González coming into his own as a songwriter - with songs that are as instantly accessible as they are brimming with darkness and brooding intensity. González, like his music, is deceptively unassuming, studied and powerful. He attacks his craft patiently, methodically and with great interest in finding unexpected angles. While it is sonically similar to Veneer, In Our Nature shows González' growth. Displaying a heightened emphasis on melody and strong, focused lyrics - the album is a dark combination of softness and anger.
