José González has today announced the release of his highly anticipated fifth solo studio album. His first album in more than four years, "Against The Dying Of The Light", will be released on March 27, 2026 via City Slang. Along with the announcement, he has released a video for the title track "Against The Dying Of The Light".
Since his last album "Local Valley", a dramatic darkening of the world has taken place, which José Gonzaléz confronts with an unvarnished truth in his songwriting, which more than ever is carried by a haunting, often frustrated and even angry expression.
His focus is on anxieties revolving around technology, but also on themes such as resistance to exclusionary ideologies and the need to recognize ways of thinking that he calls "unhelpful thinking".
In this way, his album draws equally on his personal convictions and artistic decisions.
