Spanish Love Songs have announced the details of their fifth full-length album, ‘Future Nausea’, the follow-up to 2023’s ‘No Joy’.
The record will be released on November 03 via Pure Noise Records.
Vocalist/guitarist Dylan Slocum had this to say about what the album represents for him:
“When I first sat down to work on the record, I basically told everybody I just wanted to make a big rock record, whatever our version of something like Born in the U.S.A. would feel like if it could exist. But as much as I wanted to make a major-key-sounding album, I wanted it to be as angry politically as it could be. More angry than sad. I actually think this is the least sad record we’ve ever made.”
The artwork looks like this:

You can also check out the first taste of the album now in the form of ‘Good American’. A pure and powerful piece of heartland rock and roll, pulling on as much Bruce Springsteen earnestness as emo intent it also holds a heavy core. One that speaks to the way that things have turned out as much as how it feels like there is no hope for things going back to the way they were either.
Dylan had this to say about it:
“The military complex is a complicated, terrible thing that preys on economic instability and desperation, all under the guise of patriotism and making people feel like they belong to something greater than themselves. With Trump’s re-election I started seeing stories of Trans soldiers, including some career soldiers my own age, being tossed aside even more callously. It brought back the memories of the vets I met all those years before. From there, the story emerged in each successive verse. A story of what life looks like after the institution you believed in deems you surplus to needs.
It’s an angry song. Maybe the angriest song I’ve ever written. The recording of it followed accordingly. We wanted to keep it minimal. Loud. It sets the tone for the album and this era of the band. We want everyone dancing and shouting.
About a week after we tracked this song, the US bombed Iran.”
