Spanish Love Songs will release theIr new EP, A Brief Intermission in the Flattening of Time, on November 21 via Pure Noise Records. In celebration of the news, the band has released two new songs – “Cocaine And Lexapro” featuring Kevin Devine and “Berlin” featuring Tigers Jaw.
Speaking on working with Kevin Devine, frontman Dylan Slocum has shared:
“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.”
And on collaborating with Tigers Jaw, he shared:
“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.”
