Spanish Love Songs Announce “Future Nausea” Album & Drop Lead Single “Good American”

Spanish Love Songs have announced their fifth full-length, Future Nausea, is set for release on 6th November via Pure Noise Records. Heartland rock has long been built on nostalgia, soft-focus vignettes of hometowns, wide-open interstates and the mythology of an America that may or may not have ever existed. Future Nausea borrows the genre’s widescreen sonic ambition while rejecting one of its defining traits: Rather than looking backward for comfort, the album fixes its gaze squarely on what’s to come, not with optimism but with the uneasy certainty that tomorrow may prove even more difficult than today. Alongside the announcement comes lead single, Good American, that is a thematic backbone for much of the album.

“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.” (singer Dylan Slocum)
