The level and inflection of his voice is perfectly matched with the guitar tone. González's singing comes across as quite unique for me, maybe its his Latin American roots, it seems to give a distinct ring to his voice. The guitar picking/plucking is used to create an offbeat rhythm that I don't find typical of solo work or folk or what have you, almost math rock-like in a way. One of the best songs with regard to his guitar playing. It is the only cover on the album, which is good, as González's own songwriting is strong enough that he does not need to rely on using covers to fill out his solo works, but it is a tastefully done cover nonetheless. Massive Attack's 'Teardrop', as done by González, carriers more outward emotion than any other song on a moody, introverted album, and is beautifully done. One of the best songs on this album happens to be a cover. His solo work might be his best output though, as it allows for his amazing guitar writing to shine through, mostly because it carriers the burden of being the primary instrument played on most of his work. González is still an active member of the band Junip, and reportedly a new album by the band will be out soon. Mostly you are getting pretty straight forward guitar and vocal music, with some layering of vocals, minimal percussion, and some synth work as well. The Swedish guitar and vocalist of Argentinian decent performs with Erik Bodin on percussion and Yukimi Nagamo providing backing vocals.

Four years following his debut full-length album, Veneer (2003), José González's second full-length recording In Our Nature (2007) came out.
