It's been two years since Special Interest released their sophomore project The Passion Of, the album that brought the dance-punk collective from the DIY scene of New Orleans and onto the world stage.
On November 4, Special Interest will release their latest album Endure via Rought Trade. Today, you can hear its lead single "Midnight Legend" featuring Mykki Blanco.
The new track balances the bright polish of a Duran Duran hit with the post-punk atmosphere of Siouxsie & The Banshees. In a statement, the band's frontperson Alli Logout described the track as “a love song to all the girls leaving the club at 6 AM, a love song to everybody who doesn’t have love around them.
