Following the release of their critically acclaimed debut, Dogsbody, Brooklyn-based quartet Model/Actriz’s sophomore album Pirouette comes exclusively pressed to pink LP with black splatter, limited to 300 copies and hand-numbered to order. Pirouette takes inspiration everywhere from Lady Gaga and Grace Jones to classical ballet and dissonant dance music. Like a well-oiled machine, Model/Actriz’s punk aggression surrenders to queer pop, arriving at stunning new ways to be free. 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.
