José González previews first album in six years with new single "Swing"
With a month to go until José González's first album in six years - Local Valley - is released, he's unveiled a fourth single from the record titled "Swing".
"Swing", which is accompanied by a video directed by Mikel Cee Karlsson, follows previous Local Valley outings "Head On", "Visions" and "El Invento".
González says of the new single, ""Swing" is a song with (almost) only good vibes! It was musically inspired by high-life from West Africa and Caribbean music. With its layered light guitars and a melodic bass line on top of a beat from a drum machine app, "Swing" is a song about dancing and following your natural impulses."
Local Valley will follow his 2015 album Vestiges & Claws, and was recorded at Studio Koltrast Hakefjorden, located at his family's summer house north of Gothenburg.
The album will be the first that sees González sing in three languages - English, Spanish and Swedish.
