In 2003, he released his debut album, Veneer, in Europe. The album has since been released in the UK, on April 25, 2005, and in the United States on September 6, 2005. González is also a member of the Swedish band Junip, along with Elias Araya and Tobias Winterkorn.
The song Crosses, from Crosses EP and the later Veneer, appeared on the finale of the second season of the popular American television comedy-drama The O.C.. His cover of Heartbeats (also from Veneer) was used in a popular Sony BRAVIA TV commercial featuring coloured bouncing balls in San Francisco and an episode of Zach Braff's Scrubs
His song Far Away was also prominently featured in the Rockstar video game Red Dead Redemption.
His trademark sound is solo acoustic guitar with soft melody. His work, although mostly original, does include acoustic covers of great hits such as Love Will Tear Us Apart, Born in the U.S.A., and Teardrop.
González also appears in the Zero 7 album The Garden, in which he sings on three tracks and on a re-worked version of Crosses.

José González Lyrics
Action, reaction
Stay with it, hang on
Engage, disengage
Deal with it
Head on
Head on
Inhale, exhale
Wave coming, undertow
Speed up, go slow
Put on your new boots and deal with it
While marching on
Head on
Speak up, stand down
Pick your battles, look around
Reflect, update
Pause your intuitions and deal with it
Head on
Head on
Head on
Head on
Rent seeker, value extractors
Corrupt oligarchs, power snatchers
Pervert incentives, ludic loops
Nepotism, tribal troops
Deflate, escalate
Hit the sweet spot, ignore the hate
Forget your miracles, forget your god
Join forces and deal with it
Head on
Head on
Head on
Head on
Head on
Stay with it, hang on
Engage, disengage
Deal with it
Head on
Head on
Inhale, exhale
Wave coming, undertow
Put on your new boots and deal with it
While marching on
Head on
Speak up, stand down
Pick your battles, look around
Reflect, update
Pause your intuitions and deal with it
Head on
Head on
Head on
Head on
Rent seeker, value extractors
Corrupt oligarchs, power snatchers
Pervert incentives, ludic loops
Nepotism, tribal troops
Deflate, escalate
Hit the sweet spot, ignore the hate
Forget your miracles, forget your god
Join forces and deal with it
Head on
Head on
Head on
Head on

Cannot wait for the album. You haven’t sold out on your sound. That’s not a common thing these days. Thank you for staying true to your soul in order to continue making music like this. It will always be good enough just as it is

Isn’t selling out the ultimate goal? You do something to make the most of it. Selling out should be the end goal whether you like it or not. Don’t misjudge selling out. It starts in the mirror.

there is just something about José's music that feels otherworldly, like it's coming from a better place where all that matters is our humanity.
