Spanish Love Songs fans are now able to stream an acoustic, reimagined version of “Haunted”, the band’s acclaimed first single from their epic album ‘No Joy’ out now.
"Every time we decide to rework a song for an “acoustic” version, it inevitably starts with stripping everything back to how the song originally started,” explains vocalist and guitarist Dylan Slocum. “’Haunted’ was no different. This song started as an acoustic love letter while I was losing my mind in the living in the suburbs in the winter of 2021. The beginning and ending of this call back to that early desperate version.”
“Once we locked into that idea this time around, everything else fell into place — this is less an acoustic version of the song and more an alternate reality version of what could have happened if we obsessed over a 90s drum beat in the studio, or if we hadn’t come up with the song’s main synth riff as a placeholder that we fell in love with.”
The band is currently in the middle of a co-headline tour with Oso Oso featuring support from Worry Club and Sydney Sprague. Shows kicked off April 3 in Mesa, AZ and will continue until May 9 with its final night in Dallas, TX. They perform tonight at Fairmount Theater in Montreal, QC.
This summer Spanish Love Songs will support Gaslight Anthem across select cities in Europe, along with special commemorative SOLD OUT shows, performing their album ‘Brave Faces Everyone’ in its entirety taking place July 8 and 9 at Lafayette London.
They will also return to Australia in May to support Luca Brasi. All worldwide tour dates, details and tickets can be found at: https://spanishlovesongs.com/#tour
Since 2013, the LA-formed indie-punk quintet SPANISH LOVE SONGS have made hay on the backs of a string of beloved albums – 2015’s Giant Sings The Blues, 2018’s Schmaltz and 2020’s Brave Faces Everyone – lauded by critics and fans alike for their richly personal, no-holds-barred lyricism awash in existential dread, hyper-personal cultural ruminations and attempts to answer life’s big questions.
