In Our Nature by Jose Gonzalez
In Our Nature is an album by Jose Gonzalez, released in 2007. 1 song from it has charted on rock radio countdowns, with 4 countdown appearances in total. The biggest is “Down the Line”, on 4 lists with a best position of #20.
In Our Nature, José González's second album, came out in September 2007, on Mute in the United States, and the Gothenburg singer-songwriter hasn't strayed far from the blueprint of Veneer: a classical guitar picked with hypnotic precision and that soft, level voice right up close to the mic. What's new comes in small doses, hand claps, backing vocals, a little synthesizer, but every addition registers. The songs chew on the human condition, the nature of the title, and the mood is quiet but restless.
"Down the Line" led off the singles across most of Europe while Sweden got "Killing for Love" first, and both came backed with a cover of Bronski Beat's "Smalltown Boy". "Teardrop" was the second single. Reviews were mostly warm, with Metacritic scoring it 72 out of 100.
