A Brief Intermission in the Flattening of Time serves as the follow-up to the band's 2025 No Joy Sessions and marks their first new music since 2023's No Joy. The EP can be described best as a reflective pause, as Spanish Love Songs both pull from their past and look ahead to the uncertain future. From spontaneous studio sessions with producer Arun Bali and shaped by collaborations with friends, each track is a raw, emotionally charged sonic snapshot that grapples with our own messy existences. The EP stands apart as its own self-contained world, a cul-de-sac of sorts in the band's evolving career. There's a looseness and honesty in the songs that could only come from having no plan, just an acoustic guitar, a mic, and the willingness to see where things might go. It's an intermission, yes - but one that ended up meaning a lot more than expected.
