Spain – She Haunts My Dreams

First off, Spain isn’t from Spain; they are from California. Spain also isn’t quite a band, but more or less just Josh Haden, who is son of jazz legend Charlie Haden.

Spain is most definitely not a jazz band.

But you could be fooled on first listen. It’s slow, intimate delivery could be mistaken for lounge. Until you realise that there’s a restlessness simmering beneath the music: a mix of discontent, desperation and fight that could only be rock.

“Nobody Has To Know” is possibly the most achingly beautiful song about a secret relationship ever written.
