The emotive punk band Spanish Love Songs have released a new acoustic single Pendulum. This comes in a line of reworked songs under the title No Joy Sessions from their critically acclaimed album.
“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.” says Dylan Slocum.
The original album, No Joy was produced by the band and Collin Pastore (Lucy Dacus, Julien Baker) and 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.
The band will play Furnace Fest on Friday 3rd October before heading to Europe to perform a series of headline shows and joining Hot Water Music, Comeback Kid, Joyce Manor and more punk and alternative bands in playing the brand new travelling festival Common Thread.
