José González releases remix EP, announces tour

With his sophomore album, In Our Nature, singer/songwriter José González proved he had more to him than the brooding covers he was known for, which included renditions of the Knife’s “Heartbeats,” Kylie Minogue’s “Hand on Your Heart,” and Joy Division’s “Love Will Tear Us Apart.” Songs from the album, his most recent release, are featured on a new remix EP, which comes with the announcement of a summer headlining tour.

The In Our Nature Remixes EP is available only as a digital download and features songs remixed by Todd Terje, Penchenga Nord, Beatfanatic, Landberg & Skogehall and others. González begins his summer tour with a June 13 performance at Bonnaroo, with the first headlining show the following night in Louisville. Concerts are planned for 17 cities through July.
