Spain

Spain is the moody, soulful indie rock project masterminded by bassist/songwriter Josh Haden (son of jazz legend Charlie Haden). Emerging from Los Angeles in the mid-’90s with their slowcore-adjacent debut *The Blue Moods of Spain*, they carved a niche with smoky, introspective songs blending country twang, jazz undertones, and Velvet Underground-esque minimalism. Recent releases like *World of Blue* and *Love Will Come to Town* continue their tradition of atmospheric storytelling, while live recordings (*Night Crawling*, *Live at the Love Song*) capture their raw, intimate stage presence. Their quietly enduring sound—equal parts bruised romanticism and desert-highway drift—remains a cult favorite for fans of Leonard Cohen, Cowboy Junkies, and late-night introspection.
