Josh Haden makes slooowwww music at the best of times, music which drips with atmosphere. I first came across his band Spain when a song of theirs was featured on the best TV series ever made© Six Feet Under and I duly lapped up everything they’d ever created. ‘She Haunts My Dreams’ and its successor ‘I Believe’ were the standout highlights for me. The track ‘Hope and Prayed’ taken from the former still makes the hairs on my arm rise up in unison.
