Claude says:Local Valley caught you in late 2021 with González's first full LP since Veneer — a warmer, more rhythmically alive take on his fingerpicking minimalism, letting percussion and subtle production breathe where earlier work kept things sparse. You kept rotating it across five years, favoring the syncopated pull of El Invento and the swaying ease of tracks like Swing, finding something in those restrained grooves that rewarded returns.
