Special Interest’s Ruth Mascelli is releasing their debut album under their name.
Titled A Night At The Baths, the record draws on techno, acid house and ambient music. It follows on from Mascelli’s previous solo work under their Psychic Hotline moniker. Check out two tracks from the release, ‘One For The Voyeurs’ and ‘Missing Men’, just below.
Mascelli describes the album as "an audio diary of adventures had at various bathhouses, dark rooms, and gay clubs while on tour with Special Interest and traveling on my own." They add that working on it "was a way of wrapping my head around my own experiences in those very specific surroundings but also an attempt to connect to the current of queer history flowing through those spaces."
Mascelli continues: "I think of each individual track as it’s own room or physical space. Some may be lonely, some crowded, but I tried to leave them open enough to walk around and explore."
Disciples will release A Night At The Baths on July 30, 2021.
