José González on Effective Altruism, Doomsday Dudes, and New Album of Local Valley
José González catches up with Kyle Meredith to talk about Local Valley, his first album since 2015’s Vestiges & Claws.
The Swedish singer-songwriter talks about effective altruism as a way to make the world a better place and how it fits in with the lyrics, being frustrated with “doomsday dudes,” and how a line like “we’re all in this together” is both a statement and a plea.
González also discusses incorporating Western African music into his style and covering his other band Junip’s song "Line of Fire."
