LISTEN: José González returns after 5 year absence with 'El Invento'

José González has returned with a new single called 'El Invento'. It is his first single in 5 years, and the singer-songwriter credits his young daughter Laura with helping him write the track.

González's last studio album, Vestiges & Claws, was released in 2015. It followed 2007's full-length In Our Nature.

“Every now and then I try to write lyrics in Spanish—this time I succeeded!” González noted in a press release. “I guess talking to Laura in Spanish every day helped. I started writing ‘El Invento’ around 2017 when she was born. The song is about the questions—who we are, where we’re going and why? Whom can we thank for our existence? Historically, most traditions have invented answers to these questions. Thereof the name of the song: The Invention (god).”
