Coinciding with the launch of his North American tour with yMusic, José González is proud to unveil the emotive and strikingly beautiful music video for “With the Ink of a Ghost”, a song found on José’s acclaimed studio album Vestiges & Claws – out now on Mute.

The video, directed by Malin Ingrid Johansson, portrays dancer Yared Cederlund expressing himself in arresting freeform movement over José’s serene and near-meditative melody. Reflecting on this visual offering, Johansson states:

Using both the physical movement through Yared’s body, and the movement between the two rooms, we wanted to do something as contradictory as visualizing the invisible. Us people are often strongly under the influence by forces we can’t see. Forces inside and outside of us, sometimes created by events that took place long before us. In the same way, our actions today will affect those coming long after us. By then we will be what’s invisible.

On Sunday, José will embark on a sizable North American tour with the revered chamber sextet yMusic. With the addition of strings, flute, clarinet and trumpet to José’s celebrated catalog, these shows are sure to be a special treat for all in attendance.

yMusic works in close quarters with contemporary composers and songwriters, developing ideas into vivid, communicative performances. Virtuosos, the six classically-trained instrumentalists are equally comfortable in the classical and pop worlds, collaborating with artists from Ben Folds to Dirty Projectors. “yMusic is thrilled to be joining José, says Rob Moose of yMusic, “and to bring our musicianship and unique color to José’s gorgeous, moody songwriting.”
