Model/Actriz

Pirouette

£12.99

Released: 2nd May 2025. Rising dance-punk band Model/Actriz release their sophomore album 'Pirouette' via Dirty Hit. Like their name suggests, Model/Actriz seek to channel raw emotions into striking new forms. Consisting of Cole Haden (Vocals), Aaron Shapiro (Bass), Jack Wetmore (Guitar), and Ruben Radlauer (Drums), there's an expectation that Model/Actriz aim first and foremost to be shitstarters. Their debut record 'Dogsbody' was sexy, dark, and humid, full of eerie passages and veiled menace; their unique sound quickly found fans that included the likes of Pitchfork and Anthony Fantano. After much critical acclaim and an exhausting tour to support the record, the band sought to reinvigorate their visceral live shows that invite that audience into a shared room of carnal ritual. Model/Actriz's sophomore album 'Pirouette', which was co-produced and mixed by Seth Manchester and mastered by Matt Colton, their collaborators on 'Dogsbody', swerves out of the maze and directly into the spotlight. 'Pirouette' is both a natural progression and a calculated reset, a move toward reasserting their command as artists by peeling away the smoke and mirrors to become brighter, heavier, and more direct. The pop thread running throughout the album allows the crowd to witness thumping club music in the spirit of cabaret and manifest the catharsis that comes with hitting the dancefloor
