Model/Actriz - Pirouette (Indies Exclusice Translucent Clear Gatefold Vinyl) + Flexi Disc

Rising dance-punk band Model/Actriz will release their sophomore album Pirouette, set for release on May 02, 2025 via Dirty Hit & True Panther.  

Like their name suggests, Model/Actriz seek to channel raw emotions into striking new forms. 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. 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. "

"Every time they perform, it’s an explosion of outrageous noise, raw physicality, and communal joy — all the thrills that rock bands aren’t supposed to be able to provide anymore."" - Rolling Stone ""Pendulum-swinging guitars and menacing drums give Dogsbody an air of danger, as its lyrics balance visceral vignettes and phantasmagoric visions from a fraying psyche."" - Pitchfork ""Known for theatrical flair and electric live performances, the group coaxes a sense of decaying glamour out of grating industrial textures and dance-punk influences."" - The New York Times “Hell-raising” - The FADER"
