Bleep

As a member of New Orleans four-piece Special Interest, Ruth Mascelli grounds their art-punk attack with blown out synths and nimble but cavernous drum machine rhythms. Mascelli struck out on their own early this year with an album for the Disciples label called A Night At The Baths. In celebration of Baths’ scuzzy techno journey through the bathhouses and dark spaces that dot the queer underground, Mascelli returns to their vintage analogue gear to give us a chopped and slowed version of the album as a limited cassette release called A Slow Night At The Baths. Packaged alongside a twenty page zine that provides track breakdowns and adverts for an imaginary bathhouse, the saturation applied to the tape is meant to echo how these songs would sound in a dimly lit basement.
