Visionary singer-songwriter-guitarist José González today releases the Swing EP, the second in a series of EPs that revisit the singles of his latest album, Local Valley. This new offering follows the American Association of Independent Music (A2IM) recognizing Local Valley with the 2022 Libera Award for Best Folk/Bluegrass Record earlier this month. In May, González received the Swedish Grammi for Singer-Songwriter of the Year.
Included on this EP is a thumping, synth-infused remix by Germany’s Roosevelt, a breezy Balearic reimagining by Solomun, and González’s own “Ants in the Pants” version – a mantric reworking featuring jittery percussive elements.
In March, González released the El Invento EP which features an airy, polyrhythmic remix by rising Peruvian artist Sofia Kourtesis as well as choral and dub edits recorded by González himself.
