Music: Rock/Pop José González w/ Mia Doi Todd

  • 2008-02-08_1209_large

Argentinian-born Swedish singer/songwriter 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 deserve just as much attention: his second album, In Our Nature, displays an almost religious adherence to delicate, minimalist melodies that highlight his ethereal tenor. Atmospheric folkie Mia Doi Todd, herself a miracle worker with voice and guitar, opens the show.
