Local Valley
Since his debut single 'Crosses' back in 2003, both he and his music have remained dependably quiet and unassuming. 'Local Valley' calmly exhibits his singular ability to communicate with such modesty and power. Beginning with the sun-dappled 'El Invento', the first song he's recorded in Spanish (the native tongue of his Argentinian heritage), and ending with the intimate yet rhapsodic 'Honey Honey'. Along the way it engages in his signature melodic and metrical hypnotism, showcasing his remarkable fingerpicking skills, while there's further evidence of his love for music from around the world (he references an inspiring jam session in Gothenburg with Niger artist Bombino) and for the first time, the introduction of a drum machine on a few songs, further widening José´s musical spectrum.

Do truck drivers in local transport really work 300 hours?
It is unlikely that truck drivers in local transport work 300 hours. The Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) regulates the hours of service for commercial truck drivers, and they are limited to a maximum of 60 hours on duty in a 7-day period or 70 hours in an 8-day period. These regulations are in place to prevent driver fatigue and ensure safety on the roads. Therefore, it is highly unlikely that truck drivers in local transport would be working 300 hours in a month.
