Interview: Special Interest and their intense and intentional new album Endure

Interview: Special Interest and their intense and intentional new album Endure

“I think with all the lyrics, I approach it the way I do filmmaking. So I'm thinking about characters and people and trying to like, dig into their head and what they're feeling and experiencing. And that's what I tried to do musically; try to channel my friends and myself and the things that we're feeling and going through at those moments and times. They're not really specifically about any particular person to be honest; it's always a multitude of people or feelings.”

I saw down with New Orleans’ rising heroes Special Interest ahead of their London show in support of excellent new album Endure to find out all about making it. Check out that chat here.
