After chatting through a set by Sub Pop’s Tiny Vipers, the talkative crowd at L.A.’s El Rey Theatre hushed to make some sonic space for José González’s soft strumming. González didn’t chat much with the sold-out crowd, but silence is golden.

The Swedish songsmith’s sophomore LP, In Our Nature, is out now on Mute. More photos and tour dates below.
