If like me you were wondering what he was up to post that memorable cover of the Knife’s ‘Heartbeats’ then you need not wonder further as José González and his band Junip have just released their self-titled sophomore. Not a huge amount has changed really as the singer retains those soft folky tones and the music is for the large part clean and soothing. The album’s opening track ‘Line of Fire’ would probably have been better suited to closing it such is the way it could foster a mass of lighters in the balmy summer evening air. At one point James Blunt slid into my thoughts which was awkward but then José can be reassured that it was just me being picky. KD
