In Our Nature
José González
The project avoids dense studio layers to highlight the raw resonance of the instrument and the performer. A somber version of Teardrop by Massive Attack anchors the tracklist, lending a fragile quality to the overall recording.
At a time when indie-folk leaned toward large arrangements, this record remained purposely skeletal. The engineering highlights the tactile friction of fingers against metal and nylon, establishing a contemplative tone that reflects the inward focus of the era.
