Spanish Love Songs, the emotive punk band have released new acoustic single “Pendulum.” This comes in a line of reworked songs under the title “No Joy Sessions” from their critically acclaimed album.
The original album, No Joy was produced by the band and Collin Pastore (Lucy Dacus, Julien Baker), mixed by Carlos de la Garza (Paramore, M83, Best Coast), and was lauded by critics and fans alike for their richly personal, no-holds-barred lyricism awash in existential dread, hyper-personal cultural ruminations. These stripped versions of the songs really have them finding peace in quieter moments and embracing the negative space.
Vocalist Dylan Slocum shares more about the reimagined version of “Pendulum”:
“This version of ‘Pendulum’ is a bit closer to the original song we scrapped in the studio — upbeat and driving. Speeding it up always changed how I would read or react to the lyrics. It softens them a bit, and I think it is why we ultimately slowed it down for the album. But I always loved both, so it’s nice to have a ‘happier’ version out.”
The band will play Furnace Fest on Friday 3rd October before heading to Europe to perform a series of headline shows before joining Hot Water Music, Comeback Kid, Joyce Manor and more punk and alternative bands in playing the brand new traveling festival Common Thread. Full dates are below.
