Swedish folkie José González is best known for stripping electronic songs to their acoustic essence — his interpretation of the Knife's "Heartbeats" breathes warmth into the original's menacing robo-rock, and his version of Massive Attack's "Teardrop" revels in romantic urgency. However, González's own tunes deserves just as much attention: his second album, In Our Nature, displays an almost religious adherence to delicate, minimalist melodies that highlight his ethereal tenor. Baltimore-based singer/songwriter Cass McCombs, whose chameleonic muse carries him from Britpop to psychedelia to country, opens the evening's show.
