Spanish Love Songs announce new EP ‘Doom & Gloom Sessions’

SPANISH LOVE SONGS have announced a new EP!

Titled Doom & Gloom Sessions, the upcoming album from the Los Angeles-based indie punk band is the follow-up to 2022’s Brave Faces Etc, and is scheduled to be released in April this year, via Pure Noise Records.

The upcoming EP features a collection of fan-voted covers, taken from the nearly two-dozen recorded or re-interpreted and released exclusively for the band’s Doom & Gloom Social Club community since March of 2020.

“We were never a band who did a lot of covers,” says vocalist and guitarist Dylan Slocum, “but we’d always kept a running list. When we had downtime between albums, we finally got to knock a few off the list. We’d put them up each month for our Doom & Gloom Social Club to vote on, engage with our community, and talk about great music. It was a great process, the freedom and fun we had recording these covers once a month for two years ended up sort of defining our approach as we started working on the new album. No pressure or expectations, just having fun being in the same room again and making music.”

Alongside the announcement of the new EP, the band have released the first song from the upcoming release; their cover of THE KILLERS‘ Smile Like You Mean It.
