American band Spanish Love Songs has announced their fifth album, Future Nausea, and released the first single, "Good American." The record comes out on November 6 via Pure Noise Records, and after its release the band will head out on a European tour early next year. Visions ↗
For the album, the band set out to turn heartland rock nostalgia into a forward-looking perspective. "When I started working on the new record," says singer Dylan Slocum, "I told everyone I wanted to simply make a fat rock album — our version of 'Born In The U.S.A.,' if that were possible. But as much as I wanted to write a major-key album, I wanted it to be as politically angry as possible. More angry than sad." Visions ↗
The first single delivers on that promise: "Good American" sheds light on the miserable situation many former war veterans find themselves in. It's a story about what the country promises and what it ultimately delivers. Visions ↗
The Los Angeles-based band has been active since 2013, and their songs are built on lyrics about economic insecurity, mental health, and a generation struggling to catch up with its own expectations. You can find the lyrics to three of their songs on SuperMusic.
