Spanish Love Songs have announced a new four-track EP.
'A Brief Intermission in the Flattening of Time' will arrive on November 21 via Pure Noise Records, following up this summer's 'No Joy Sessions' EP and marking their first new material since their 2023 album 'No Joy'.
Alongside the announcement, the Los Angeles emo-punks have shared two new singles, the slow-burning, hazy indie-rock song Cocaine And Lexapro featuring Kevin Devine, and a brooding, synth-laden collaboration with Tigers Jaw titled Berlin. The two other songs on the project are Heaven Head featuring Illuminati Hotties, and Lifers Too with The Wonder Years. Frontman and guitarist Dylan Slocum said:
"I’ve been trying to work with Kevin for a while now. We have a good number of mutual friends but had never met up until this. The reasoning was simple — our band doesn’t exist without Kevin Devine, so when he agreed to sing on a song, he got to sing on a song. He took what I had demoed as an angry, contrarian second verse and turned it into something delicate and full of pathos. It absolutely floored me the first time I heard his vocal tracks dropped in."
On Berlin, Slocum added: “Tigers Jaw is another band that we love dearly and had somehow never met despite having friends in common. When we announced the Common Thread Tour this year and saw they were on the bill, we figured we’d take a shot and asked if they’d be interested to sing on our weird song. At first, we thought only Ben was tracking, but when we received the track back and heard Brianna doing the harmonies we absolutely lost our mind. It’s the Tigers Jaw thing we love on an SLS song. That feeling is one of the core reasons we even toyed with the idea of having features, and in that moment made the entire experiment worth it."
Last week, the band kicked off a European tour, which includes UK shows in Birmingham, Manchester and Nottingham, as well as gigs in London and Leeds as part of the Common Thread Tourwith Tigers Jaw, between October 22 and 26. Tickets are on sale now.
