    "comment": "Check out this 2022 Live on KEXP performance from the Swedish-Argentinian artist Jose Gonzalez, hosted by Cheryl! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2Fnukm5vYzw\n\n--\n\n\"José González has delivered a new album, Against the Dying of the Light, a companion and further meditation on the themes of his critically acclaimed album, Local Valley. Where Local Valley turned inward toward place, language, and personal reflection, this new record widens its gaze, becoming an urgent call to preserve the light of humanity with all its flaws, at a moment when, technology increasingly shapes how we think, feel, and relate to one another.\n\nWhile José has always embraced technological advancement, he questions the assumption that every new possibility must be pursued to its maximum potential, especially when progress comes at the expense of human flourishing, attention, and empathy.\"\n\nhttps://josgonzlez.bandcamp.com/album/against-the-dying-of-the-light",
