Sleater-Kinney shares Special Interest Remix of “Crusader”
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 last night, “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. The album has received praise from The New Yorker, Rolling Stone, NPR, Pitchfork, Associated Press, Vulture, Paste Magazine, them, Consequence, Esquire, People Magazine, and American Songwriter, amongst many more.
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.
