More Info:

Limited to 1000 copies on clear vinyl w/digital download. José González’s new record, Vestiges & Claws, his first in seven years, is out on February 17, 2015. It contains years’ worth of musical sketches that in other hands might naturally sprawl wildly in sound and style, but, on Vestiges & Claws, González has created a collection of songs that cohere just about perfectly, ensuring his position as one of the most important artists of his generation.

Reviews:

The result is an album that is less purist, less strict. One can find traces of inspired protest songs and eccentric folk rock on Vestiges & Claws: staccato grooves and rhythms, frustration and optimism. It’s a collection that is simultaneously confident, free and uncertain. Whether influenced by science or personal experience, the lyrics show him focusing on a broader universal philosophy. He seems to be looking at life with a bigger lens now that he’s older, wiser and more experienced.
