You probably know him already from the posts about his band Junip, but we are extremely excited about this brand new album of Jose Gonzalez. This new album is, without question, the most highly anticipated of his career. One can find traces of inspired protest songs and eccentric folk rock on Vestiges & Claws: frustration and optimism. It’s a collection that is simultaneously confident, free and uncertain.He has focused more on the role of being a producer this time. He has spent more time thinking of what’s best for the song and the recording. This explains completely why this album must be in your music library. A few weeks ago, José González starred in Calexico's "Falling From The Sky" video as the caretaker to a big, creepy worm. That video was the first of a two-part story from director Mikel Cee Karlsson. Today brings González's video for "Open Book", from this year'sVestiges & Claws, which continues the narrative. Below, watch González continue to care for the worm until the situation becomes untenable.
José González - Open Book I feel just like an open book, Exposing myself in this neighborhood Talking to people as if I'd knew them well Thinking that everyone has come through different kinds of well Lately I found myself in doubt, Ask myself what it's all about What am I doing here? What's this leading to? What's the point of all? I found you! I've got promises to keep like a cannon would land upon my feet, Each time I fall
Every now and then in dreams by the river with no trees Leaves are yellow, red and brown, and I hear You whisper in my ear Your love belongs to everyone I feel just like an open book, A couple of words, it's all it took In front of the bright white covers, still vacantly Against my will, a drifting vessel in the storm Pushed around, from shore to shore I know there's so much left to see I know I have so much left to give But the memories remain, yet the scars don't feel the same Filling page just one by one, in the warmth of other suns
