About this episode

José González discusses his new record and shares insights on his background and experiences.

José González is my guest on this episode of That’s How I Remember It. José is a fantastic guitarist and songwriter who just released a great new record Against The Dying of Light. We talked about his prior studies in biochemistry, pushing away intrusive thoughts when playing live, his roots in punk and hardcore, Quicksand, Richard Dawkins and ending on a hopeful note. Really great conversation, was a pleasure to have Jose on the pod. Check it out, listen and subscribe!
