The critically-acclaimed album ‘No Joy’ is out now via Pure Noise Records, and Spanish Love Songs have shared some great news for their European fans. Check out their rundown of their Winter 2024 European tour dates, spanning cities from Southampton to Utrecht.
Described as a vital emotional outlet for disillusioned millennials by Upset Magazine, and lauded by Rodeo Magazine for their unique sonic brilliance, Spanish Love Songs has unveiled plans for a headline tour across the UK and Europe in Winter 2024. This tour aims to bring their latest album ‘No Joy’ to life on stages across various cities.
Currently basking in global praise, ‘No Joy’ positions the band at the cutting edge of both the emotive punk and alternative music scenes. They have already experienced sold-out shows on their current tour with Hot Mulligan.
Dylan Slocum, the band’s lead vocalist, expresses the band’s excitement, saying, “We’re ecstatic about revisiting some of our most cherished locations. It’s high time we fully brought ‘No Joy’ to the live stage.”
‘No Joy’ showcases a broad sonic palette that ranges from shimmering guitar choruses to resonant synths, all underpinned by a robust rhythmic section. The album is not so much a turbulent sequel to their previous work as it is a moment of reflection. It captures the band members—comprising Dylan Slocum, Meredith Van Woert, Kyle McAulay, Trevor Dietrich, and Ruben Duarte—settling into a more subdued and contemplative space.
The band self-produced the album, with Collin Pastore and Carlos de la Garza contributing to its production and mixing respectively. ‘No Joy‘ carries forward the group’s thematic legacy, tackling the complexities of modern living with a blend of skepticism and hopeful introspection.
Since their inception in 2013, Spanish Love Songs has built a loyal following through their earlier albums like 2015’s ‘Giant Sings The Blues,’ 2018’s ‘Schmaltz,’ and 2020’s ‘Brave Faces Everyone.’ These albums have been uniformly praised for their brutally honest lyrics, which delve into existential anxieties and societal observations, earning them a reputation for unfiltered emotional expression.
