Local Valley is the fourth studio album by Swedish singer-songwriter José González, released on 17 September 2021 by City Slang and Mute Records.
[8] Four singles preceded Local Valley, including "El Invento",[9] "Visions"[10][11] "Head On",[12] and "Swing".
[17] In an 8/10 review, Sam Richards of Uncut wrote, "His always inventive finger- picking is more expansive and fluid, his vocals less vexed, his melodies more direct.
As a result, [second track] "Visions" might be the best song he's written since his 2003 debut single "Crosses".
"[14] Victoria Segal of Mojo wrote, "Local Valley has no lows, nor any thrilling highs, but it's an even, easy pleasure from start to finish.
