José González 2016 Australian Tour
Conceived as the third part of an acoustic trilogy complementing 2006’s ‘Veneer’ and 2007’s ‘In Our Nature’, the album is almost entirely self-produced, becoming as González sees it, his “zoomed-out eye on humanity on a small, pale blue dot in a cold, sparse and unfriendly space”.

It is that loyalty that inspired me to write this letter, scrappy as it may be. This is the beginning of a new chapter for The 1975.
