José González annoncerer sit første album siden 2021 – Against The Dying Of The Light ude d. 27/3
José González annoncerer i dag udgivelsen af sit længeventede, femte soloalbum, hans første i mere end fire år, Against The Dying Of The Light, der udkommer 27. marts 2026 på City Slang / Playground Music. Sammen med annonceringen deler González en ny video til titelnummeret ‘Against The Dying Of The Light’.
Om den nye single fortæller González: “It's a song reflecting on humanity in 2025; about accepting who we are and what led us here, since the past can’t be changed. Then about refocusing our attention on the challenges ahead, like pervert incentives and algorithms that aren't in line with human flourishing.”
Siden sit forrige album, Local Valley, har den dramatiske mørklægning af skygger over det globale landskab krævet en mere direkte fortælling, båret af et mere kraftfuldt udtryk fra singer-songwriteren. Med sit fokus på frygt for teknologi, sideløbende med spørgsmålet om behovet for at identificere negative tankemønstre og afvise ikke-inkluderende ideologier, er Against The Dying Of The Light født ud af dyb overbevisning og kunstneriske beslutninger.
González om albummet: “Against the Dying of the Lightis a reflection on how we create hurdles to human flourishing by clinging stubbornly to dogmatic ideologies where people follow dudes who pretend to know shit they don’t know. These are songs about how we can navigate humanity towards flourishing on an individual and a collective level.”
