Sweden’s José González is back from a long solo hiatus. The guitarist and folk singer-songwriter has finally unleashed Vestiges & Claws, his first album in seven years, and to celebrate, he’s taking his act on the road with Ólöf Arnalds.

The new album is González’ first to include completely original material, which allows him to delve deeply and more thoughtfully into complex subject matter, including universally understood themes like civilization and humanism.

González will headline two dates this month (April 27 and 28) at Bimbo’s 365 in San Francisco (the venue is a favorite of his band Junip). Tickets to the concert sold out too quickly, but stay tuned for late ticket releases and ticket resells at StubHub.
