Model/Actriz - Pirouette (2025)

Pirouette marks a dynamic evolution for Model/Actriz, blending intense, genre-bending noise rock with newfound pop sensibilities and personal lyricism. The album delves into themes of identity, self-perception, and queer experience, contrasting the raw explosiveness of their debut Dogsbody with a more introspective and polished sound. Tracks like "Cinderella" and "Diva" showcase the band's ability to intertwine aggressive instrumentation with catchy vocal lines, while songs like "Acid Rain" and "Baton" reveal a softer, more emotional tone. Critics have praised Pirouette for its compelling restraint and emotional depth, highlighting the band's growth and willingness to explore new sonic territories.
