Dream come true: I saw Warpaint at Rough Trade last night, I got to say hi to them and they signed my poster ♡

If there must be a house music renaissance, then let it by Special Interest’s doing in pushing it beyond just a revival and giving it a purpose beyond the movement it creates on the dance floor today. The New Orleans punk band made that approach felt on their 2020 breakthrougheffortThe Passion Of in that they did everything in the dark disco was with added teeth involved. ”(Herman’s) House”, their latest single and first since inking with Rough Trade, is the equivalent of smashing together the pit with the club, all while remaining resoundingly political about their battle cry. Feeding its energy from that of the Angola Three – Black revolutionaries who maintained resistant against their incarceration despite being held in solitary confinement for over 40 years – fueling their beacon to destroy oppression, Special Interest deconstruct the dance with it, jarring house pianos against a buzzing synth beat, with Alli Logout doubling as both the siren call and the snarling voice resistance. “May the fire in the street light the way,” she proclaims. They’re not only burning down the disco, but the whole system with it.

Special Interest’s “(Herman’s) House” single is available now on Rough Trade.
