Mute is excited to announce the release of José González's 2026 album, Against the Dying of the Light. Where Gonzalez's previous record Local Valley turned inward toward place, language, and personal reflection, Against the Dying of the Light widens it's gaze, becoming an urgent call to preserve the light of humanity with all it's flaws, at a moment when technology increasingly shapes how we think, feel, and relate to one another. Across the album, González works within a deliberately minimal framework, pushing his familiar palette to new heights through subtle variation, restraint, and detail. Each song unfolds with it's own distinct character, proving how much emotional and musical range can be achieved within self-imposed limitations. Written in English, Swedish, and Spanish, the record reflects his Swedish-Argentine roots and frames it's humanist message as a global one rather than a purely personal or political statement. José González is one of the most quietly influential artists of our generation. The Swedish-Argentine artist has built a singular musical world from hypnotic, minimal guitar work and his unmistakably gentle voice-a sound that has become deeply personal to millions of listeners worldwide. With billions of streams across platforms and hundreds of thousands of physical records sold, González's songs often act as emotional landmarks. Ask almost anyone, and they can name at least one of his tracks tied to a defining moment in their lives.
