Gorky's Zygotic Mynci named their sixth album after "Spanish Dance Troupe", and the Welsh psych-folk outfit put the record out in October 1999 with this song as its title track. Euros Childs wrote both music and words, and the band made the record close to home at Stiwdio Ofn in Llanfaelog on Anglesey before Chris Blair mastered it at Abbey Road.
It also marks the end of a chapter: this was the last Gorky's album with founder member John Lawrence, who was already gone by the time it reached the shops. The song later found a second life in the hands of Of Montreal, whose cover turned up as an extra on Satanic Panic in the Attic in 2004.
