Veneer

One of our most successful albums of the last 2 years has been ‘Veneer’ - the debut for Swedish artist José González. Hot on the heels of his first Australian tour in November 2005, the track ‘Heartbeats’ went on to feature in the acclaimed ‘Sony Bravia LCD TV ad featuring over 250,000 coloured super balls bouncing down the hills of San Francisco. It was certainly a case of a beautiful track being perfectly matched to an equally beautiful ad, and has had a massive impact worldwide for all concerned. José González’s debut EP Crosses went Top 10 in Sweden, and Shock is thrilled to be working with José’s Gold-Selling debut album (gold being 30,000+ in Sweden, with the album already over 40,000 sales and climbing constantly) in Australia. The album is now getting out to the wider world and is also being released in the UK by respected UK indie Peace Frog.
