José González: Step Out

Jose Gonzalez Step OutJosé González has spent the last few years rekindling Junip for the trio’s excellent sophomore LP. Perhaps this track was cut prior to that collaborative streak, but either way, capping off 2013 with a return to solo work isn’t the most surprising element on this one. As it turns out, his contribution to Ben Stiller’s The Secret Life Of Walter Mitty is the least acoustic, least subdued and by far the most dramatic outing of his catalog so far. We caught a slice of the track in the film’s trailer along with a typically rousing turn from Of Monsters and Men, but now comes the full tune complete with a cinematic arrangement worth a few spins and, perhaps, a trip to the theater. Check it out above.
