SPANISH LOVE SONGS have announced a brand new EP!
Titled A Brief Intermission in the Flattening of Time, the upcoming EP from the Los Angeles-based emo punk outfit is scheduled to be released on November 21st via Pure Noise Records. It serves as the follow-up to the band’s No Joy Sessions earlier this year and marks their first new music since 2023’s No Joy.
Alongside the EP announcement, the band have released two new singles: Cocaine & Lexapro featuring Kevin Devine, and Berlin featuring TIGERS JAW.
Cocaine & Lexapro is described as a heart-wrenching answer to Beer & Nyquil (Hold It Together) from 2018’s Schmaltz, revisiting themes of stagnation and existential frustration through a matured lens. Speaking about the collaboration, frontman Dylan Slocum shares:
“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.”

Berlin, described by Slocum as “a spy movie of a love song,” is a moody, darkly romantic track featuring Ben Walsh and Brianna Collins of TIGERS JAW.
“TIGERS JAW is another band that we love dearly and had somehow never met despite having friends in common,” Slocum says. “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 a SPANISH LOVE SONGS 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.”
