Veneer, José González's debut album, came out in Sweden on 29 October 2003 on Imperial Recordings, and it took its time finding the rest of the world: Europe got it on 25 April 2005, and America on 6 September 2005. That slow spread suits the music. The Gothenburg singer-songwriter and guitarist makes hushed, intimate folk that sounds like it was cut at three in the morning with the lights off.

It's a record that asks you to lean in rather than turn it up, and "Heartbeats" later found its way onto the countdowns. In Our Nature followed.
