With his crystal-clear singing voice and vibrant, classically-inspired playing, José González is one of today’s most remarkable artists, and a testament to the irrefutable power of one man and a guitar. González's music touches on a remarkable array of influences, from folk to classic pop to a dazzling spectrum of world music. Displaying a heightened emphasis on melody and strong, focused lyrics--González offers a dark combination of softness and anger that is at once mesmerizing, intimate and hauntingly epic.
"Twi the Humble Feather is the perfect soundtrack to: A) moonlit treks through the woods, B) Christmas nights when mom and dad don’t fight, C) taking baths in rosewater. Rhythmic and breathy, the music has an organic feel that hushed up Glasslands in Williamsburg November 21. The acoustic trio focuses on the sound’s ebbs and flows and acts as a live-action tape-loop, repeating soft riffs as they build to a chorus of crescendos that luxuriously slink away into whispers. Twi the Humble Feather don’t tell stories, instead they set the stage with each song connecting to the next with quiet crooning to create an evening of delicately-crafted soundscapes."
