About

Brought together by New Orleans’ inventive DIY scene, Special Interest operate as a collective unit. Their sound is ever-fluid and continues to evolve. Special Interest began in 2016 as a duo with Alli Logout and Maria Elena on guitar, drum machine, and power drill, before Ruth Mascelli (electronics) and Nathan Cassiani (bass) filled out the line-up. Since then the band has grown a cult following and is notorious for its high-intensity live performances.

Pitchfork awarded both their 2020 album The Passion Of and their 2022 album Endure the highly coveted Best New Music designation. Endure featured on numerous 2022 End of Year lists including Pitchfork, NPR Music and the New York Times.
