Spain
British indie band Spain performs at Patronaat in Haarlem.
Spain is an American band from Los Angeles, founded in 1993 by singer-bassist Josh Haden, son of jazz legend Charlie Haden. Their sparse, melancholic sound weaves together jazz, blues, and folk with the deliberate pace of slowcore. Their debut album 'The Blue Moods of Spain' (1995) is considered a cornerstone of the genre - its track 'Spiritual' was covered by Johnny Cash the following year. Over three decades the band has released seven studio albums and toured Europe repeatedly, including the Netherlands.
Spain released a new single: 'Ray Of Light', recorded live at Loppen, Copenhagen (November 20, 2025), now available via Bandcamp and streaming services.
The reissue of 'The Blue Moods of Spain' (30th Anniversary Vinyl Edition) was named the 14th best archival release of 2025 by Uncut Magazine.
Spain played a European anniversary tour in which the debut album was performed in full; the tour started on October 31 in Eindhoven and ended on November 23 in Stockholm.
Rhino Records released a reissue of 'The Blue Moods of Spain' on double vinyl on October 3, 2025, pressed and remastered for the first time in more than ten years.
Spain also released a live single of 'World Of Blue', recorded at Baumhaus, Bologna (November 14, 2025), via Bandcamp.
