NOLA punk band Special Interest have shared a remix for Sleater-Kinney’s politically charged song “Crusader,” taken from their newest album, Little Rope. The two previewed their collaboration on a joint NTS Radio show, “Savage Glitter w/ Sleater-Kinney & Special Interest”. The show’s title was taken from a description Sleater-Kinney gave of their original intent behind “Crusader”: "your very existence is a threat to people claiming to be righteous and good. The psychic and sometimes literal trespasses upon your bodily autonomy are exhausting. But instead of shrinking, you grow to possess a savage glitter.”
Little Rope, Sleater-Kinney’s eleventh studio album and first for Loma Vista, is one of the finest, most delicately layered records in the band’s 30-year career.
Sleater-Kinney is currently wrapping up an Australian tour. They’ll be playing shows in North America throughout the summer, including a homecoming show at Portland’s The Square with Amy and the Sniffers. See all tour dates below.
