  Amazon.co.uk: Veneer: Music: Jose Gonzalez   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
Jose Gonzalez is a rare talent, a humble performer, and a genuinely good guy.
Jose's calming tone/voice is supported by some beautiful guitar music - its like having a warm rush come through your bedroom when you listen to this album.
Jose is a talented guitarist, and when he lets himself go his vocals are good also, but, particularly at the beginning of this short (36 mins) album, he sings in a very subdued, clipped style that cuts the vocal sound short at the end of lines and doesn't allow the songs to breathe.

Jose Gonzalez's story is rare in modern pop — a heartening case of the artist resisting the vicissitudes of musical fashion to carve out a unique, intimate style that is all his own, then defiantly following his muse all the way to the top of the charts.
An established star in Scandinavia, Jose's critically adored album Veneer is currently bedded down in the UK Top Ten while his single "Heartbeats" continues to trouble the sharp end of the singles chart — and it’s a similar story across Europe.
Jose' played "Heartbeats" on Top Of The Pops in January and was the subject of a Channel 4 TV documentary titled Orchestra Of One in early February.

 SignOnSanDiego.com > News > Features -- Jose Gonzalez substitutes songs for science
Before 2003, Jose Gonzalez focused his attention on scholastic endeavors, content to study microorganisms and the building blocks of life.
Jose integrated the nylon string guitar into his music, at times flashing complex jazz chords (bossa nova) and other times emphasizing the instrument's natural percussive qualities (flamenco).
Gonzalez released “Veneer”; in Sweden (2003), and later throughout Europe (2005), gaining critical acclaim and popularity.

 José González - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
His trademark sound is solo classical guitar with soft melody.
Gonzalez has performed on several television programs, including Late Night with Conan O'Brien (March 29, 2006), the BBC's Later...with Jools Holland (June 9, 2006), and Last Call with Carson Daly (June 21, 2006).
The song "Crosses", from González's Crosses EP and the Veneer album, appeared on the finale of the second season of the popular American television comedy-drama The O.C., as well as on a trailer for a BBC 4 programme.

 Jose Gonzalez - Jose Gonzalez heartbeats - Jose Gonzalez Site myspace.com
I picked up Jose Gonzalez's new album Veneer today, having discovered it, as many of you have, from hearing the hit song "Heartbeats" featured in the Sony Bravia commercial which is a beautifully lyrical rendition of the song originally written by The Knife (see my article on what makes a good cover).
The album contains twelve short songs, the brevity of which is in keeping for this sort of instrumentation, which rarely exceeds Jose Gonzalez vocals (usually doubled) and a single track of classical guitar.
Those familiar with "Heartbeats" are already acquainted with Jose Gonzalez's richly mellow vocals which, like his dark chocolate sounding guitar-work, is characterized by a sort of low-register, heaviness that seems suspended on wings of focused melodies and guitar and vocal nuances of occasional graceful accents.

 Parasol Records : Labels : A Hidden Agenda Record : Jose Gonzalez - Veneer
Gonzalez may not write the most distinctive songs, but he’s got something going for him that about, oh, a dozen other people on the planet can lay claim to: An Argentine growing up in Sweden singing in English.
Gonzalez is definitely a member of the "quiet is the new loud" school as founded by Elliott Smith and the Kings of Convenience.
25-year-old Gonzalez was born and raised in Gothenburg to Argentinian parents, grew up listening to bossa nova and Joy Division, and deftly picks at his classical guitar with a flamenco flourish, singing in a hushed voice somewhere between Paul Simon and Nick Drake.

 Jose Gonzalez - Veneer - almost cool music review
After a quiet bridge in the middle of the track, Gonzalez comes back with a renewed vigor, layering some subtle vocal harmonies and hitting strings so hard they rattle.
Although he keeps things fairly simple, Gonzalez wisely incorporates a few sparse percussive elements into a few songs, such as the excellent "Stay In The Shade." Once again, it's a small thing, but it helps break up the album slightly.
For my money, the best track on the album is "Save Your Day," a track where Gonzalez changes up his playing style into more of a heavy, slow strum, but in combination with his vocals, the quietly aggressive track is easily an album standout.

 Jose Gonzalez - Veneer (Album Review)
In naming his debut Veneer, Jose Gonzalez seems to suggest that his work contains a certain superficiality that is designed to mask a less desirable substratum, and in effect, he couldn’t have chosen a better title to grace the set.
Inside the intoxicating circularity of the rhythms, however, lies an ominous air, and what at first appears to be bathed in warm intimacy, soon reveals itself to be disturbingly distanced.
Crossing the pastoral melancholia of Nick Drake with the urban folk of Paul Simon, Gonzalez essentially weaves together an impressionistic tale that is haunted by death.

 Amazon.com: Veneer: Music: José González   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
Folk is reinventing itself and, as the Kings of Inconvenience's first album announced, "quiet is the new loud." In that vein, "Veneer" -Jose Gonzalez's debut- should be considered another omen of Folk's unending trove of beauties, and proof that this is someone to keep tabs on.
Jose Gonzalez is a resident Gothenburg, Sweden, the son of Argentinean parents and, as the result of this album, this year's "best new artist" Swedish Grammy winner.
The story goes that his father gave Jose two books of guitar tunes -one of Beatles' songs and the other Bossa Nova- after which point he picked up the instrument, studied Flamenco and Classical guitar, developed an interest on Joao Gilberto and Joy Division, and started to compose his own material.

This is a striking collection of hushed and autumnal indie pop bedroom songs that reside on the hi-fi end of the lo-fi spectrum.

Thank you Jose, for bringing an album that is so great, and I can't wait till your next.

 Paste Magazine :: Review :: Jose Gonzalez :: Lakeshore Theater, Oct. 15, 2006 (Page 1)
Other than the occasional ‘thank you’ to the crowd, Gonzalez focused on his carefully structured picking (often using one hand for rhythm and the other for melody).
It wasn’t until his encore when an audience member shouted a song request that Gonzalez let a bit of humor show, replying simply, “No.” He then stated it was a custom in his native Sweden to be hard on people to keep from being soft.
With only a single disc to draw from, it was an all too brief evening (with Gonzalez augmenting his catalog with a quirky Bronski Beat cover), but it was clear that this was a rare chance to see an important artist developing.

 Austin City Limits Festival Preview: Jose Gonzalez
Of course when I was younger, I was mostly soundtracking kicky little dressing-room-montages in my mind - I think every teenage girl secretly wanted to be the star of one of those at some point in her youth.
All film fantasies aside, Jose Gonzalez makes some beautiful music - whether or not it makes it to the silver screen.
One part Nick Drake and one part Elliott Smith - with a dash of Kings of Convenience thown in - Gonzalez has a hushed, almost haunting voice that is perfectly paired with a finger-picked classical guitar.

 JOSE GONZALEZ, Hand On Your Heart
Followed everywhere he goes by a tidal-wave of luminous power-balls, Jose Gonzales has hit the big time thanks to his cover of The Knife's 'Heartbeats' - with the Sony-endorsed success a little late in the day for those of you there from the start...
With a live show that is peppered by interpretations of his peers work, Jose has decided to release another cover - this time plucking Kylie's 'Hand On Your Heart' from pop oblivion to be recast as a tender footed sliver of acoustic solipsism.
Calming the Stock, Aitkin and Waterman melodies through a carbonated vocal-style and cascading guitars, 'Hand On Your Heart' is nowhere near as melancholic as it could have been - bringing his icy Scandanavian-charm to bear on tale of lost love.

When Jose Gonzalez delivered his stunningly beautiful acoustic set at the Spin offices for SpinHouse Live concert series (read more), "amazing," "incredible," "delicious" were just some of the adjectives concert-goers attributed to the evocative performance.
Of course, these audience members told us what they thought after the show, as most were too mesmerized by Gonzalez's lush guitar strums and his sweetly soaring vocals to utter a word during the set.
BONUS: Jose performed two additional songs at the Spin offices, both of which will appear on his next album.
