Jose Gonzalez - Veneer (Peacefrog)

peacefrog - PFG66

Veneer made an indelible mark in its understated, expressive brilliance and cemented Jos Gonz lez as a meticulous sonic craftsman and songwriter of singular talent. It's hard to believe an album recorded with the most basic equipment in a cramped Gothenburg flat could end up going platinum, not only in Sweden but also the UK, selling well over 1 million copies worldwide. It's harder still when one acknowledges that, aside from one brief trumpet solo and the slightest hint of percussion, the record features just one hushed voice and the dexterous picking of an acoustic guitar's nylon strings. But 2003's Veneer was such an album, charting in several countries in the world, and eventually making Top 10 n the UK thanks in part to its delicate, evocative cover of The Knife's "Heartbeats".
