Special Interest have announced Endure Remixed, six remixes from their critically acclaimed 2022 album Endure, physically out Wednesday, November 22, 2023 on Rough Trade Records. Today they are sharing electronic cyber-punk duo Machine Girl’s remix of ‘Concerning Peace’ - Special Interest’s incendiary screed against authority. The song title is inspired by the On Violence section from philosopher Frantz Fanon's 1961 book The Wretched of The Earth. Straddling the line between club banger and punk anthem, the remix feels especially timely.
Endure Remixed contains remixes of Endure favorites by artists such as Marie Davidson - and in a nod to their New Orleans roots, a bounce remix of their single ‘Midnight Legend’. The EP will be available as an extremely limited edition 12” and digitally.
Brought together by New Orleans’ inventive DIY scene, Special Interest finds a new way of defining the “rock band,” a true collective unit rather than the dictated vision of a single member. Their sound is ever-fluid and continues to evolve — Special Interest actually began as the duo of Alli Logout and Maria Elena with guitar, drum machine, and a power drill, before Nathan Cassiani and Ruth Mascelli filled out its current line-up.
Even as their music transcends borders and adapts into new styles and forms, Special Interest is rooted in a sense of time and place, truly capturing what it feels like to exist in this moment. Just as much as any single musician, the group exists because of the dancing bodies in the crowd, striving to become a truly living collective that dissolves the barrier between performer and listener. Special Interest and their spectrum of sounds is the result of organic connection not just between four artists, but between those four artists and the world around them.
