Our Retread Session on NPR

The video we shot with Jose Gonzalez is featured on NPR’s music site today: Jose Gonzalez: Unlikely Art, complete with some introductory text by yours truly:

Though Swedish folksinger and classical guitarist Jose Gonzalez has become a household name in the U.S. thanks to his music’s inclusion on nationally syndicated shows like Late Night With Conan O’Brien and The O.C., the singer himself remains a bit of a mystery. Just how did a soft-spoken artist hailing from Argentina but raised in Sweden end up writing a collection of songs inspired by evolutionary biologist Richard Dawkins? Why is he drawn to songs like “Teardrop” by Massive Attack? Is this the same guy who started his music career in a band that owed its sound to Black Flag and the Misfits?

Enjoy!
