November 21, 2025 – Today, Spanish Love Songs release their newest EP, A Brief Intermission in the Flattening of Time, out now via Pure Noise Records. The EP consists of three previously-released singles, as well as new track “Lifers Too” ft. The Wonder years. The album is streaming on all platforms, as well as available for purchase on vinyl and CD here.
With A Brief Intermission in the Flattening of Time, Spanish Love Songs return not just to the studio, but to themselves. The EP follows 2025’s No Joy Sessions and marks their first release since 2023’s No Joy, bridging old and new eras with quiet intensity. What began as a handful of spontaneous moments with producer Arun Bali evolved into a collection of songs that feel both intimate and searching – a reflection on time, connection, and the fragile art of trying to hold it all together.

“The title of this collection is literal for me. I use songs and studio time as a way to slow down and try to process what and how I’m feeling —each song is an imperfect snapshot of a moment,” shares frontman Dylan Slocum. “ We also knew that we wanted to release an EP this year while writing the new record, and that we wanted it to be its own thing, its own cul-de-sac of whatever career we’re building, half-informed by what came before and half-informed by what we think is coming next.”
The EP is also full of impressive collaborations, including the previously released “Cocaine and Lexapro” ft. Kevin Devine to “Berlin” ft. Tiger’s Jaw and “Heavenhead” ft. Illuminati Hotties. The newest track, “Lifers Too” ft. The Wonder Years, is a captivating offering about not expecting to live for as long as you have and grappling with that realisation.
“Soupy was the first choice to feature on this song and the first idea for the EP in general,” explains Slocum. “Very few people have championed us much as he has over the past 5 years, and I’m forever grateful that he’s become a friend, and more importantly, someone whose work pushes me to try to be better.”
“I love this song and I love this band. I don’t think I’ve ever said yes to a feature so quickly,” explains The Wonder Years’ Dan “Soupy” Campbell. “The way that Dylan and Spanish Love Songs capture the decay at the heart of the American facade is singular and haunting and I’m honoured to lend my voice to it.”

Since 2013, the LA-formed indie-punk quintet SPANISH LOVE SONGS have made hay on the backs of a string of beloved albums – 2015’s Giant Sings The Blues, 2018’s Schmaltz, 2020’s Brave Faces Everyone and 2023’s No Joy – lauded by critics and fans alike for their richly personal, no-holds-barred lyricism awash in existential dread, hyper-personal cultural ruminations and attempts to answer life’s big questions.
